Even if the mum had hardly no savings she would still get half of what the dad has earnt. In which.. I agree to. At the end of the day the mum and dad agreed to get married, agreed for the dad to be the breadwinner and the mum to stay at home so then they should have 50/50 of everything together!

Nowadays, no offence but people are more fickle. So if there is a divorce well.. even if there is

This is why nowadays we are getting older parents. People feel like they can't rely on people as much as they used to. So now we either get older parents or very young mums who are sponging off the goverment. There are less mothers in the middle ground really.

Also times have changed now. Everyone really needs a job to get by. So for someone inspiring to be a mother, they should get a job first when they leave school to at least earn a bit of money.

I have nothing against women who are full time mothers but fathers are not always there forever, for whatever reason, so I would not be totally reliant on that for my income. I've known too many friends who's only income has been their husbands and then the marriage has broken and they've had to work but have lost their confidence. That's just my personal experience. Also people sometimes want to give their children so much and this can not always be done on one income
