    My old person trait is a belief that anyone that works full time should be able to aspire to own their own home, support their wife and kids and still have a little left over to save at the end of the month.

    Edit: It kind of sucks that I wrote a comment about making work pay like it used to and people are arguing about whether I’m a mysoganist that wants women back in the kitchen. (I’m not, I’m happy for women to work as much as they want too, it’d just be nice for double income homes to be doing it out of choice and thriving because of it, rather than having to do it out of necessity.)

      So your old person trait is really that “wife stay at home with the kids” should be the norm?

        It should be an option.

        Dad works, and mum stays at home to focus on the home and kids. ✔️

        Mum works and dad stays at home to focus on the home and kids. ✔️

        Both work part time to both spend quality time with the kids. ✔️✔️✔️

        All should be completely viable for an average income couple.
