>This illusion you have about "dismantling of the American family" is absurd. It's not be dismantled - it's merely evolving. The days of having a stay-at-home wife to raise the kids and a father who works 9 to 5 at the same company for 30 years are OVER.

>My wife did not go back to work, after having our daughter. She takes care of Katy during the day while I work. She wanted it that way. We don't have any hang-ups about social stereotypes. This country has millions of families - every family is different in some way, and needs to do what works for them.

Of course every family is different - but generally - now days - both parents work.
