Is the middle class disappearing in America?
There was a time in America when the man of the house was expected to earn a living, and the woman’s role was that of a home-maker, raising the children and running the household. Women broke this mold when they began to enter the workforce, and changed the model of the American family forever. While this sexist idea of the nuclear family of the fifties was rife with gender bias and unfair stereotyping, there was one part of this social arrangement which was beneficial. That was the idea that one parent worked while the other had the extremely important role of watching, raising, and nurturing the children; a role I have performed in the past, so I know what I’m talking about.
