Children have always been a burden financially. The only times it's not the case was on certain farms.

children were not a burden when you could put them to work. max maybe until they were able bodied enough to feed the chickens

Again not everyone was farmers. Many weren't. Children often became apprentices not gaining money until later. But even then still were a financial burden.
