Can you form a family that does not comform to the Western European family structure as solution? For example, a person can live with their grandparents who can provide some childcare as they take paid jobs to cover the living expense of the family. A person could also live with their siblings to cope with the expensive housing cost in metropolitan cities.
Before my parents' divorce, the family in my house consisted of a mother, a father, two grandparents, an uncle, my three siblings, and me. This extended family structure allows my uncle to build an expensive video game collection in his room and adopt one of my brothers as his son in his romantic relationship with a woman who does not want the full burden of child rearing. Outsourcing some of the childcare, like cooking, to my grandparents allows my abusive father to spend more of his time in his corrupted activities in a Christian church organization while my mother provides the main source of financial income for the family.
