I'm currently listening to the Oprah Radio, The Gayle King Show this evening. The ladies are discussing 2 questions:
Do women want their husband's to be the breadwinner?
Do men care if their wives makes more money then them?
When Charles and I were first married I did think he would be the breadwinner. For most of our marriage I have been the breadwinner. At this time in our lives I look at the money as ours and don't focus on who's making what percentage.

When I married in 1971 I expected my husband to be the breadwinner. So in 1973 when I had our first child I left work to become a full time mom. I think being a mom and a help mate to my husband and a worker in our home was most important. Most meals were from scratch. Our home was clean and anything my husband wanted that I could help him with he had. It was a good life living on one income. Much more peaceful and happy than today. I even though this isn't a popular belief still believe our families would do much better living the same way. I picked up a part time something here and there at the school when I could but for the most part I was at home. Grandma couldn't drive and I took her to Dr. and her dog to vet. Helped several people get their small children to the Dr. and set with them waiting for appointment. Always busy helping in some way. I loved that life and would suggest it for any wife not just mother. Much money can be saved when you have the time to watch bargins and sales etc.
