Neither. We complain about them not staying home and raising their kids. When they decide to work part time to both make a living and be moms, we complain that they’re screwing things up by not working full time. When they quit their part time jobs and have no retirement (because a one income household in this economy has ever increasing expenses to pay instead of investing for mommy’s later years) we complain about their government dependency.

Big Gov has made it quite difficult to stay home. That is not a design flaw on Big Gov’s part. Our costs of living have skyrocketed thanks to entitlement programs, expanding regulations, bureaucracies, etc. Families, even our very frugal family, need two incomes to compensate for obama giving millions in aid to every foreign despot with his or her hand out. If I stayed home there would be no money to invest for my later years, and God only knows what to expect with healthcare alone!

Oh, so they aren’t allowed to live lives the way they want? We make them stay home and raise children? Right! And we lose half the doctors in the workforce! That’s a great plan! Did you learn that from the Taliban?

You’re correct. They complain when people work; they complain when they don’t work.
