Wouldn't say that exactly.Originally Posted by tiger31
Women who choose to have children - and it'd be fair to say MOST who marry do - ought to be ENCOURAGED to stay at home and look after them ... until their offspring have reached school age at least. That, for the most part, was the way it was when I was a child. Indeed, my own mother was ALWAYS at home for my brother and I ... and, in fact, only decided to go back out to work after we were grown up and self-sufficient.
So obviously, my father was the sole breadwinner in our household ... as was the case in the majority of families back in the early days of the Welfare State. Unlike nowadays - FEW "latchkey kids" back then- and I believe my generation were all the better for that!
