Surely everyone working academic jobs should have had the good sense to do so with a SAHM spouse caring for the kids! Or not been so selfish as to have children. Or, just hire a sitter, you know. Take some responsibility for your choices. (the last two are things I've heard personally).
I honestly don't know what's worse: people who simply ignore care obligations and expect you to carry on as though you are unusual/a minority, not needing accommodation, or those who don't realize that their 1990s $5/hour sitter/full time nanny arrangements don't work with current salaries.
