But you don't understand!! How else can a family meet their expenses? They have 2 car payments for vehicles less than a year old, the mortgage on a 2500 sq. ft. home furnished like HGTV, the timeshare, the hottest electronics, club dues, complete work and home wardrobe for both, summer camp for children.....< / sarcasm>

Yeah, no kidding. Its called priorities...and living within your means. Most 2 income families couldget by on one just fine if they eliminate the unneeded nonsense out of their lives.

That's true in some cases, but not all. I know a number of women who work because they have the health insurance and the other benefits -- their husbands don't.

One such woman was so broken hearted when her son began calling her sister (the child's caregiver) "Momma." If she had her way, she would have been home with her son. But the family depended on her.
