Ah, 60s romance. Mornings, Mom stands at the door, packed lunches in hand.
Dinner is always on time.
It s a nice walk down memory lane, but better not linger. Today, in 84 percent of all marriages, both husband and wife work outside the home. For many families, that means dinner isn t on the table at quittin time, and Mom or Dad could stay home with a sick child, shop for groceries or vacuum the living room. As women juggle home and work duties, men are being called on to do more, too. Sometimes it s a school function for one of your kids.
