The reason that both spouses must work is due to the feminist movement of the 1960's as the message was propagated by the feminist that a woman who stayed home and raised the children was somehow inferior and had no worth to society in general. As this message percolated through society--------the structure of the family was challenged. No longer was one salary via usually the man, the father, good enough. To subsist, many women were forced via the feminist philosophy to go to work to provide enough $ to complement or supplement the husband, the father's income. Now we have both parents, commuting to work in the metropolitan areas------some as much as 2 hours to get to a paying job. They drop the children off at daycare, if young, before starting the commute or they deliver them to the school where the school may have a fast food breakfast for the children. This reverses at the end of the day--------some children are delivered to day care by the school that they spent the day in and some stay at after school care to be picked up by the commuting parents. I teach piano and I deal with these parents on a daily basis--------they are overwhelmed------fast food is order of the day for eating for the whole family. They are attempting to keep 2 or maybe 3 cars going-------and providing the children with the latest in gadgets that wear out rapidly and the latest brand name in shoes and clothes. The parents rarely go out together for an evening as they can't afford the prices for baby sitters and for an elegant dinner and or show. I often wonder what would happen if America took a step back from the feminist indoctrination that seeped into our society---------that took away the worth of a mother who stayed home for the benefit of the children, family and community. Perhaps we would have some homemade stew, fresh baked coconut cakes or pies------fresh garden vegetables, homemade grape juice-------fresh made breads. Heck, I'll take those thunderbirds of the late 1950's and 1960's anytime-----great design.
