Single adults don't necessarily have free time, either. I agree, this is a deeply felt divide and, for the record, I am single. There are valid points on both sides, but I often hear this argument -- what if one of the adults in a couple doesn't have time -- without acknowledging that a single person might not have time, either. The above-mentioned household with one adult and four kids probably doesn't have much money *or* any free time, but the adult needs to pitch in and work, or pay -- that's the way it works, because most of us are not creating income-sharing communities. Most communities create some slack for individuals in difficult circumstances, but I don't see why the potential challenges of multi-adult households should be accounted for ahead of time in the work policy, in a different way than single folks' challenges. You're right, it is almost a matter of religious debate ;-) -Jenny
