Life Partnerships?

Dear Friends,
I think one can wonder where one is. The idea of the nuclear family with a bread-winner and a home-maker sounds frightfully old fashioned, now, doesn't it?
In UK at least all too many girls want their cake [cooked for them] and eat it, and I wonder if this is good for any children that come of a mariage? My observation is certainly not.
However, this may seem to put me into that group of neandethals who think that the little lady's place is chained to the sink and cooker. Not quite so I have to say, as I could see that the roles might usefully be reversed if the talents of a good couple so require. Tony Blair, for example should definately be confined to the kitchen sink, while Cherrie earns the crust! However, I do think one of each is crucial.
Given two full time working parents the result is all to often emotionally undernourished children, and a higher proportion of delinquant children. Is it only in UK that we are falling into this trap?
Something to chew on from Fredrik

(It's just me trying to fully understand other points of view)).
Carry on.....
Mushrooms 
Ok, so you don't get it. I think that housewives who love their husband very much don't want them at home all the time. So the best loving situation for a child might just be a loving wife and a hard working man. Just a thought though, no mushrooms 
All has been revealed. Thanks bas.
