Does it matter anymore??

In mothers on the front line, it talks about how they are either great when they stay at home or bad. That at one point I think they mentioned the amount of people who came out to vote was huge at one point. Either way I see it, the way it was where the husband worked and the wife stayed home is gone. Yes there are many who still stay home to work instead of having a paying job. But I think its not because they want to but have to simply because one parent cant make enough in this day to day world. When gas has been almost five dollars, where going to buy food can cost up to anywhere of 100 dollars to nearly 500 because of families of  six or seven kids. That nothing is cheap and that's why they need to go out and find a job just because this world has changed so much.
