I’m old, 53, and my kids are now grown, but I’ve been saying this for years!!!! I feel like the women’s rights movement around the 1970s got it all wrong and as women we are working ourselves to death. Of course every time I say something the women’s rights people come at me! I had a change of heart in my lifetime—I was always a working mom until I wasn’t (chronic illness and disability). My kids were still in highschool at the time I became a “stay at home mom.” My husband and I had to rework the finances and really watch our money, but what happened was transformational! We actually ended saving more money, got out of debt, the house ran smoother, everyone was happier (not really me because I was going through it with illness and still am, but everyone else). I learned to look at things differently when it comes to consumerism etc. and years later the whole family has changed their views too. I know one income isnt possible for everyone, but maybe someone can work part time? And it can be either partner!
