    Most of the people in my family do not work in these professions, yet they too need a second wage earner in their family units. I think there are very few people who can claim that they are paid enough. I for one am not. And I've not had an increase or a bonus in 4 years .....

    I get genuinely confused why people think its wrong to need or have 2 people bringing in wages. I have never known any different. I think it's fine if people want an arrangement where there's only one wage earner and it's affordable to them.
    It's not something I have ever felt aggrieved about? Maybe it's down to upbringing? My parents both always worked too, so it seems normal to me :o

    you are joking aren't you, the peeps on fb are very picky in the company they keep, when we are bored we like to play with locarr but locarr doesn't like the way we play so he blocks us!!!!!!!!

    I wish he'd block me. Instead he keep sending me friend requests and sharing my posts.
    I keep telling him I'm not interested but it falls on deaf ears. :rotfl::rotfl:

    I do not know how we would live on one wage for any length of time or why we would :eek:

    We can agree to disagree on MPs wages. I don't think anyone feels they are being paid enough, and probably never have. If it takes a pay freeze to get the country back in its feet then that's what it takes but it should apply accross the board. From the very top right down to the bottom. Maybe people would feel less aggrieved if that were the case.

    I agree.. and I would put the bankers in with the rest of us.

    Just reading back, hope sfsb and family enjoy The Book of Life tomorrow, you're welcome for the heads up. Our clan have tickets for it too and we went to see Alexander the terrible bad day today courtesy of sun perks. Nice to get the freebies and treat the kids :)

    I too was brought up in a family where everyone works. And all 5 of my siblings and their wives and husband work too. I'm single and have been for over 8 years, but I too work and have always done so, and would never dream of having a relationship with someone who is work shy. And I certainly hope I am teaching my DS that the only way to progress in life is for him to work too. :)

    Stay at home mums / dads is not a common occurrance in South Africa. In fact very few can afford the luxury.
