Right on. For a lot of folks (of all ages), the 19th century never ended. Or maybe they're stuck in the 1950's. Sigh. What's right for one family, is right for them and not necessarily for anyone else. Everyone should be able to make their own choices as to how they structure their family life (as long as no one gets hurt).
Agreed! It's such an old time mentality, that whole 'man make money, woman run house' idea. My brother and his wife made this choice together, as what is right for them, but all anyone sees is his wife working and him staying home 'doing nothing'. As if raising a family is not a worthy job. Which means when we are told, as women, that we shouldn't work and we should stay home with our kids, basically they are saying 'take the job that we deem less worthy'. /shakes head/
