Oh yeah, my parish relies heavily on homeschool moms (and others) doing things with the support of our priests, although I think attendance tends to be everyone, including those with no kids.

Dual income with kids gives up too much of the free time necessary for them, so parishes with few stay-at-home moms don't get those things.
