[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You make 260K not 130K. My Cop uncles all had stay at home wives. They worked long hours, weird shifts, two were detectives like you see on TV. And they mostly had 3-4 kids not just two. My Aunts went to school plays, graduations, weddings often by themselves.

I like to see you live your lifestyle if your husband made 130K as a cop and you have four kids.[/quote]

Are you aware that it’s 2026? Most families are dual income.

Our single son is doing well in a HCOL area.

No wife.

No kids.

It is not 2022 where dual income was a thing back in the old days of 2022. The stats back it up.

Stay At Home Moms Numbers Rising
The number of stay-at-home moms in the U.S. has seen a significant increase, with nearly a quarter of American mothers identifying as stay-at-home parents. This rise is attributed to various factors, including the need for flexible work schedules, high child care costs, and the desire to spend more time with their children. The survey by Motherly's State of Motherhood 2023 Report indicates that stay-at-home moms are now 24% of the U.S. population, up from 15% in 2022.

My Uncle was in charge of the FBI of a large County office around the size of Montgomery County MD. He had a SAHM wife and four kids. No way could his wife work. He was during all types of hours, crime happens 24/7. Law and Order, CSI, type jobs work does not happy 9-5. And my Firefighter uncles worked 24 hours shifts a lot. But they all had side jobs on days off. [/quote]

Let’s be honest, when 75% of families don’t have SAHMs, dual income families are a thing. In the late 60s and early 70s SAHMs almost reached 50%.

Most SAHMs fall on the two extremes of the income spectrum. For many their SAHM status is also temporary. As children reach school age the mother’s status changes.

Regardless, this topic is about “kids” becoming firefighters and police. [/quote]
