Real wages have been falling since 1973. So part of the reason was necessity, if the standard of living was going to be maintained.

"Real wages never recovered their pre-1973 recession peak. As wages dropped through the decades, the number of people in an average household that had to work—in order to make ends meet—increased."

I always wonder what constitutes "making ends meet."

I can't help but laugh when I read all the news articles about what it costs to have a baby. When you look at the breakdown it is ridiculously over inflated. They often calculate outrageous amounts for clothing and baby equipment. They never consider breastfeeding,cloth diapers, shopping the clearance rack for the opposite season or going to thrift stores and garage sales. They don't consider that you can buy 2-3 year old baby gear (most of which you don't need anyway) that has only been used by 1-2 kids, for a fraction of the price on Craig's list.

Babies are obviously only one category of expenses, but I would imagine there are other areas where cost of living is based on a very cushy version of making ends meet.

Many dual income families put so much towards daycare and dual student loans that it just doesn't seem to make much sense to have the mother work.

Sadly, women do takes jobs from men and it breaks down the whole family model.

And why have real wages fallen? Because of free trade destroying our manufactoring base and the "family living wage" being destroyed.

Heather Has Two _____ was one book.

Yes a very vile book. Moms are the front lines in this culture war. She is the one who goes to the school board to protest this stuff or cuts off the TV when something vile comes on.
