And that sucks. Why do we do that in the south? Why as culture would we not be supportive of responsible parenting and happy families just because of which parent stays home? Aren't family values supposed to be a selling point for us....well that and low property taxes and favorable gun laws.... But you get my point.


Clinging to traditional roles and social norms, and very very class conscious. Had a friend from Australia spend 5 days with me in La. and he was surprised at the social stratification. It isn't just the South, much of the East is like that.

I keep holding out hope that it will adapt and one day we will move back. But the older I get, sadly, the less I believe. Either way, I think that staying home with your children and being a good parent is the most noble calling regardless of gender. I also think that a family that is fortunate enough to be able to afford for only one parent to work is blessed more than most and if people think that its beta for a man to do it..then frick em.
