Ours is in the middle of 4 acres of mountain forest and home schooling is sometimes climbing trees.<br /><br />You're entirely right about two income households becoming the nearly necessary norm, of course. There's a woman whose name escapes me who's made a career detailing stats, she claims that this idea that two incomes is all about a fancier lifestyle isn't supported by reality -- people aren't really living in houses that are that much bigger or better, etc. You really need two incomes to support a lifestyle much like our grandparents'. She also points out the hazard of the two income household, that in the past if the husband lost his job and couldn't find another, the family could be kept afloat if the wife found a job. Now, if one of the two loses his or her job, the family is in trouble, there's no safety net.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112539076811224653noreply@blogger.com
