It’s really a failure of our country that so many families have to have two incomes to survive.
Why is that a failure of the country. When we had children my wife stopped full-time work and we lived on my at-the-time-not-so-great salary. Of course we didn’t have a trophy house, a pair of Beamers, a vacation cottage and other essentials for young upwardly-mobile suburbanite trash. We sucked it up and really didn’t suffer. Maybe more people should try it. There was absolutely no way we were going to subject our children to day-care.
I’ve worked in IT for quite a while and the women I’ve worked with have usually done very well. We’re really all in the same boat, both good and bad.
