Dual Earning Families - 

I thought the reading on families where the mother and father both work was very interesting.  I grew up in a divorced household, and both parents and sets of step parents work.  I thought it was intriguing when the chapter pointed out adapting strategies for families experiencing a change from non-working to working parents.  I guess I never thought it would require a particular strategy to cope with the change, because I was so used to the idea of families working.  I know some friends who had their parents return to the workforce, but they did not seem to take it very hard.  I am interested to ask them, personally, about what they experience and if they had hardships with their mothers or fathers returning to work.
