    Because it was taken from us. We used to divide labor, taking care of the home was considered a full time job for 1 adult.

    Now here we are. Where it now takes 2 incomes, or frankly more, to raise a family and have a home. Now you have no time to do anything and purchase more expensive convince items to try to claw back time.

    1 income should be enough if they want us to start having kids again

      Not even just one person. For most of history people mostly didn’t live in a household with just 2 adults. That “dream” was an artificial setup as well. Now, if we had more community services, like common kitchens, child care etc, that might even be attainable but I’m not even sure it’s preferable.
