You can't say categorically that *every* mother who works is "wanting everything right now." Some men really don't make enough money to support a family at a modest middle-class level. Some families really do have additional expenses that aren't "frivolous." There's an awful lot of judgement on these forums about people and situations that don't really merit it. Yes, there are people who throw money around like water, and who spoil their children. There are other people who don't. I know several families right now where the mom is working to pay college tuition, or where mom is working for the medical benefits (because dad doesn't have them through work.)
Thank you very much.
Bump!
