This brings back memories of the shift to the two income family. In the eighties I worked in a new demonstration project child care center for the infants and toddlers of working moms in Honolulu. Both parents worked, but we never mentioned working fathers.
The cost per month was more than the mothers earned in most cases, but they were keeping their jobs by not taking two years or even five away from their firms. These ivy league women were always paid way less than men, but any minute things were going to change! No one would dare listen to the negative owner of that child care center, who poitnted out the hard work and lowering expectations- me.
They formed a long waiting list for my services, despite me telling them to go home and collect AFDC and raise their own children. Then there was no more AFDC. No choice. No way out.
Welcome the lower birth rates and shrinking life span. No Dad's in 1988 wanted anything to do with any woman who didn't have a job. Here we are!

@Stopmakingsense wow you do know stuff
and its scarier than science fiction
america the reality
thank you !!😱
I also know now more clearly than ever why I never took marriage and childbearing seriously and still single and alone and frantically lonely and bereft now. I'm one of the LUCKY ones!!!
I never had anything to prove I had the right to be alive
and that was at 29. With a BA and many extras
Looks like I planned well 4 the future though. I still have the BA and about 100 extras and more unemployable than ever lol
But I will learn Auto CAD soon.
