My parents are now retired although my dad does the occasional bit of work. When they were younger my dad was the breadwinner and my mum stayed at home to look after my brother and i. She did work part time helping out my dad whilst he was starting up his business. Otherwise she's always been at home. What's the situation in your family?
My both parents work, but my dad is going to retire in two years. He's 60 , my mom's 50, so she's supposed to work for next like... ten years. Or eight. Not sure. I have no idea what my dad's going to do when he's retired.
They both worked for the MOST part in my childhood. It varied whether it was part time ,or FT. Usually one would do pt and the other full.
