I understood what you meant
And I've been saying the same for a while. It's more about people being encouraged to abandon family values to attain a secondary income that's the issue.

Too many were pushing for women to work when what should have been pushed was that it doesn't matter who actually gets the income.

But I do have to say, often when you figure everything in, you really don't get much more net income with a second income anyway. Between transport costs, child minding and pre-prepared foods, the difference can be accounted for with mild lifestyle changes.

Which is not to disparage anyone who feels the need to work. It's just often less necessary than people would imagine.
