This is definitely my family too. I am actually on the tail-end of the boomers, but my wife is an X-er. We made a concerted decision to raise the kids ourselves, and it's the greatest thing we've ever done. I actually stayed home and started my own on-line business when my son was 6 months old. My wife worked outside of the home because of her higher pay potential. Just now, my 5 year old just started 1st grade and my 7 year old 2nd, so I just started a new full time job. My wife can totally work her schedule around the kids school hours.
I can say that it has NOT always been easy. We were going to home school, until we found an incredible little Classical Christian School nearby, and that co$t more than we had sometimes. But it all worked out somehow. Now we can get back on the financial track and not sacrifice time with the kids.
Anyway, I'm thrilled to see this trend being documented. There is always hope...
