[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I hope you support paid family leave and universal affordable childcare, and candidates that push for those policies.[/b] [/quote] I do, but in the past, everyone started having kids in their early 20's and none of these things existed. [/quote]But then a family could live on one salary and women weren't suppose to have careers outside their homes. We can't live on one salary anymore.[/quote] You could, you just don’t want to. [/quote] Sure, we could. Buy an inexpensive house in a neighborhood with poorly rated schools, pinch pennies, have all the basic needs met (food, shelter) but not be able to save for things like trips and college. And then our kids would be at a disadvantage when trying to find their way in this increasingly competitive society. Everyone wants to give their family the best possible start in life and for most, it's not possible on one income. [/quote]
