I do. :)
Up until a few years a...I think we should. I do. :)<br />Up until a few years ago when J left freelance I was primary earner for us. We budgeted and got by OK, and I was often annoyed at people asking Jay why he wasn't working full time. Like it would somehow be OK if I worked part time or freelance, but god forbid the MAN of the hosue did that. He got so much flack for it - even my Dad did it inadvertantly until I talked to him about it. It was silly. I always figured if it worked for us, then that was all that mattered.<br />I stopped being annoyed at those sorts of articles a while ago, because they are obviously written my individuals who don't feel that work that women do counts, whether paid for or not. These are likely the same people who would choke on their tea at the thought of a femal mechanic or plumber or a dad who opted to stay home with the kids.<br /><br />I think it's the people who both work and can't seem to keep a budget together enough to make ends meet that need some talking to....if you can't get by on that and something goes srong, well then yes. You would be worried...Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.com
