    I have said and continue to say that wouldn’t it be nice if both parents could work and support a household financially on 20-25 hours a week each? Both could have careers outside the home and have plenty of time for the rest of stuff, or one parent could choose to work more hours and the other (presumably) choose to be at home like they did in the 50s. But it wouldn’t have to be that way if jobs weren’t automatically 40+ hours.
