Who's raising the kids if both parents are working? We doubled our labor force, halved our value, and work twice as hard for the same thing while neglecting our children. I don't see that as a good thing. And then to just abandon someone you love for the sake of an already non-traditional modern family?

Who's raising the kids if both parents are working?

While the kids are small, one parent can take time off to raise them. Once they start going to school, they can start working part time. When they're in their teens they can work full time. But I agree, a full time stay at home parent is best if you can afford it. If we didn't do so much overseas manufacturing there would be a greater demand for American labor, and the American worker could demand a higher wage.
