That way there is more money available for families to spend on items produced, sold, and presented in advertising. It's a "win-win" situation for corporations and government. Young women believe that they must work outside of the home and "use their minds". This is what I was recently told by a young working mom. Young working women have been influenced to believe that homemaking would not allow them to use their minds. <br /><br />I believe that there will be many women, who are working and in their 20's right now, who will look back when they are in their 50's with regret at not having been able to spend more time with their children. They will then realize that it was not a "win-win" situation for them, after all. susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-73871914214100380212013-04-25T11:36:55.696-07:002013-04-25T11:36:55.696-07:00It's just the mentality of people.

Nowadays people expect instant gratification. They want it all, and they want it know. When you live on one income, you learn to plan carefully and to save for things you want and to look for economical solutions, and it may well be that in the end, you will have more.

I believe that the one income family that obeys God's command for the wife to stay at home actually winds up being the more prosperous family in the end. At least that has been the case in our family. Every wife and husband that have obeyed the traditional roles, has been happier and more prosperous. We have many this way and it seems as if all of the wives that have worked outside of the home have divorced and been forced to live in poverty. God's way always ranks supreme.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Amy Jo Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06434236324086346076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-57578966642660133802013-04-24T14:14:53.757-07:002013-04-24T14:14:53.757-07:00Exactly.

I replied that I enjoy it very much and let it go at that, but inside I wanted to scream that it wasn't luck -- it was the hard work of my husband and myself that made this possible.<br /><br />Of course, there are some situations when it might not be feasible, but by and large those are exceptional situations and not the norm.
