Yea, more dual-income families means: - Bidding up the price of housing - Fewer parents active in overseeing the schools, volunteering to fix up the community, etc. - Less general slack for parents to help each other out - Fewer mom friends around during the day, less social life for existing stay-at-home moms - Peer pressure and implicit societal pressure to work a career - Parents sending their kids to camps and aftercare, rather than having kids free-range around the neighborhood and play with friends, so fewer playmates for the non-camp/non-daycare kids. |
