Buck, I deeply respect your views on this. Many"modern" men practically throw the wife out into the workforce, nomatter whether they have children or not, whining that they just can'tsupport the home by themselves (this without even trying).Don't get me wrong; I know that there are extreme situationswhere the wife must and should pitch in for the survival of thehome, but this new "breed" of man is a little too milquetoast for mytastes. I'm just old fashioned in that I believe that a manshould be a man and sincerely embrace his responsibilities withoutlooking for his wife to "mother" him every step of the way.The emphasis seems to be more on material acquisition than familyrelationships, as you say.Well, twenty years is nothing to sneeze ateither. Yes, understand the difficulty of raising children intoday's day and age. I was a high school teacher forthirty-two years, while Mrs Buck was more importantly a stay at homemom while the children were home.
She went back to work when the children went to college. Oncethat was over, or our responsibility was over(daughter seems destinedto become a professional student LOL), she "retired" officially, neverto return to work again, we both hope.
Sacrificed some "things," but came out ahead in family relationships, we believe.
