Interesting how the pendulum swings. I have also read that some millenials feel that the wife should stay home with the kids while the husband works. It is a generational of set beliefs that get passed on and the future generations will take what they can use and leave the rest behind. There has been so much conditioning about gender roles and female success, change is hard for some. Personally, I say do what works for you and makes you happy. As a single mom, my happiness was threatening to some but I don't care. It's my life and I am living it my way.
