I can understand your frustration, but if your sons are going to be breadwinners for themselves and possibly a future family, shouldn’t there be some concern about whether they can earn a decent salary? Or, do they have a trust fund, or perhaps they’ll always be able to count on you?

Well, god forbid their wives be the breadwinners*

Of course a wife can also be a breadwinner. A breadwinner isn’t necessarily the sole income of a family. However, not everyone gets married, nor does everyone stay married. And, many wives are not major breadwinners - especially during the years that children are young.

I would be concerned if my children did not major in something that would likely result in a decent paying job. I don’t want to be supporting them forever, nor would I want them to think that they had to find spouses to support them (and any possible children) because they were unable to.
