We've rid ourselves of the 1950's, husbands don't care if the wife makes more

[Lil Me]

I know a guy on long-term disability who stays home with his kids.  He makes quite a bit (tax free) on his WCB cheques because he was in a high-paying trade when he was injured.
 
 I know another couple of guys who had kids later in life and were able to take early retirement and collect their pensions while they stayed home.

Sorry to say SD......your dad didn't appear to be too responsible a person.  Your mom could have used the reimbursed premiums to buy herself something nice.

So, the morale of this story is lets not compare a Jesusland Bible thumping area of the midwestern USA to the Pacific NW.
