Seriously though, due to taxes and the economy, lot’s of families are two income families - we’ve just tried to make the best of it.

It's precisely the taxes and regulations over the last 40 years which have forced two income families. The 50's and the Ward and June Cleaver lifestyle are often denigrated by the same people who pushed all those taxes and regulations which have inflated the cost of mortgages, college educations, electricity, heating fuel, etc, etc. Still, all things being equal, I still think men have had fewer choices when it comes to career versus homemaker than women and that's why I said I was jealous. I know some men do it but it's the exception and I've yet to review a resume where a man says he took off a couple of years to raise his babies.

We're about to go full circle. Because of taxes and regulations the 50s lifestyle is coming back: 50% of the jobs are permanently disappearing. Only this time, as long as Ward and June stay unmarried, they will get food stamps, free cell phones, internet, cable TV, healthcare, and subsidized housing.
