re: #7 theliel

The great irony is that Mom only got ‘into the workplace’ when real wages decreased the point where Mom *had* to work.

If they want a parent to stay home wages need to rise back to 1950’s/1960’s levels.

Ummm IIRC women first entered the workplace en masse as a symptom of the draft in WW2. Plus your common implies that women in general would prefer to stary at home. W T H? About that lady at Yahoo, the new CEO? looks to me like she loves that gig and would not have it any other way.

I’ll leave it to the economics experts to parse the true effect of all those ladies add to the labor force. But even that can not account for the personal ambitions that women have apart from home maker.
