      Sadly it was what was called for by certain groups. Once the workforce was doubled the cost of housing was only ever going to increase. The woman wanting to stay home and look after her children has great instincts. It doesn’t make sense to out source raising your children. I know for some it isn’t possible but child care costs vs wages are numbers that need to be crunched. She could possibly bring in some money from home that flexible around children with so a fair amount of remote work these days.

So by the time I sit down to my tea (the meal) it's usually 7.30pm. Then by 10pm it's back to bed to get just over five hours sleep so I can get up the next day to repeat the process.
    I work a rota system that is a mix of days and nights which runs 24/7 365 days oer year so often I have to work this kind of routine even on Christmas day, New year's day and bank holidays.

In an economy that is currently pushing people to do things they wouldn't ordinarily do. Smh. In my opinion, more shame is due to them than her.

    When we got married in 1979 both of us were working in basic type jobs (hospital cook and office admin). We had a car, rented a flat, went on holidays, had a social life and were able to save for a deposit for a mortgage (2.5 x main earners wage) to buy an affordable terrace house with a garden in a nice area. This was the norm then. When we had a child we were able to live on one wage until they started school, albeit with my husband doing occasional overtime when we needed extra funds. We didn’t need or receive any state help apart from child benefit. Fast forward to today and this is not the case anymore. What have we collectively allowed to happen over time to our country and people?

It would of taken much longer and many more men for people to do the same in victorian times if they could it at all. Why things are regressing is because the money we are earning is worth less.
