As shown above there are many positives and negatives that follow a duel income household. I came from a family that had two parents working. I would have to say that I saw many things that functioned very nicely yet others that didn't. I am also the oldest of five kids and I felt a huge burden about my shoulders as I took on a very important role as older sister. Not only does money affect things within the marriage but it can change a family. Many say there are more benefits to having one parent at home as the other worked. In my own experiences I saw that our choices and our agency on how we choose to act upon our circumstances alters the outcome. For example, having two parents working as I grew up, worked our great. I saw unity happen because we learned to cherish the time we had together.
