Well, the Catholic tuition should have been an 'option' for both of you. Public school is free so that was your choice. Not that I don't sorta understand about 'private' (US meaning) schools.

And, honestly, part of it IS the wage disparity between men and women. Yes, women CAN be 'rocket scientists' but how many do YOU know? Most women are stuck in dead end, low paying jobs. Cook, waitress, Hostess, etc.....it's back to the equality thing again.

And, when a 'man' leaves his kids it somehow seems to be 'ok'. If a woman leaves HER kids to go to school, or for ANY reason whatsoever, SHE is an Unfit Mother.....Family/Social Services shoot right in there and take the kids away.
