Is there a natural Human Right to be able to support a household on one adult income?

It’s is a more practical division of labour for men to support a household and for a woman to be the primary caregiver to children.

In other words, the Father Knows Best scenario for families.

Good luck selling that to the VIEW crowd.
@Muthafukajones Except for the facts that:
Not all households include a man and a woman.
Women now are allowed to be educated and work outside the home.
In some couples, the woman has more earning power due to education and/or training.

@Reason10 Anyone who says they are bored as a stay at home parent male or female is not doing their job properly. There is a lot to being a homemaker.

@bijouxbroussard The man can be the primary care giver but usually women marry someone who makes more money than they do. Whoever makes more should be the one to work.
@Muthafukajones In the United States, it’s rare now that one person earns enough to be the sole breadwinner, unless they have an especially high-paying position. And more women have careers now rather than just "jobs".

@bijouxbroussard Do you think you’re telling me something I didn’t know?
@Muthafukajones Not necessarily. I’m just not assuming you live where I do, based upon what you’re saying. When I was married, I earned more than my husband. We split the household chores and care of our son. And that was many years ago. No offense was intended.
