Men are losing their role as primary breadwinners!

Well, what's best for her perhaps, but I don't think she sought father's permission in the case of Mrs. Robinson...
 
What century are you in, Ralphy????? Who cares who brings home the money, as long as the family has enough to live on? Around my neck of the woods it is very difficult for just one breadwinner to earn enough to support a family anymore, unless the one is a brain surgeon or movie star or something. The way prices are going up, it is more and more taking two just to make ends meet, and most women don't even have the choice anymore whether to work or not.

Back in the '50s, my dad could make enough to decently support a wife and children, but I think those days are long gone most everywhere. I don't even KNOW any stay-at-home moms, unless they stay at home because they work from home.

Yeesh!
 
Butterfly, what you say may be true about having to have two incomes today, but how many like it that way?
 
I had a career, but when I got home at night, the "professional" came off and I reverted to the subservient (U.S) southern female that I was raised to be. Today's generation of men and women do a much better job of sharing the homemaking and parental duties. Not so back in the day. I tried to be super worker, super wife, and super mom (and have the emotional and mental scars from the effort).
 
You sound similar to Sissy Spacek in the movie The Long Walk Home...
