    I disagree, prior to the 70’s it was very common for the wife to stay home and the husband to work. It’s absolutely doable today especially if you live like they did then. A lot of times they had one car, they had no cable, they didn’t go out to eat all the time or take big vacations. If you live a frugal life you can absolutely do it. I know a lot of people that are raising a family today on one income.

    but if the stay at home mom spends 40 hours a week cooking and selling Hot wings, she really is working. Peddling them under the table to avoid taxes is as bad as running overheight on a permit.

    I'm not judging, I didn't mean to come off that way. The best flatbedder I ever knew was a woman 8 months pregnant with triplets, carrying 8 foot lumber tarps in one arm and a cheater pipe in the other.

    She could pin time a B model on a shoulder of a road while cooking a souffle after chaining down three shotgun coils on a 45' trailer she built herself. When she quit, they had to hire three men just to do her job.

    I hope you realize men are inferior in every way.

    They need tax revenue for the expanding homeless population and protest signs.

    Men had been providing the food for the women to cook. Don’t get me wrong the women’s job is as important as a mans. She is the glue that keeps the family together but pansies these days is why women have to step up and do a mans job.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    In my opinion, its the govt's job to step up. Just give me a stipend for existing and watch me flourish.
