I think we travelled a few decades back in time when we moved to the 'burbs from the city. I'd estimate that 95% of families at DS's school are in traditional marriages, mom stays home, dad earns the $$, mom does most of the caretaking. Our family is in the minority with me as a working professional and DH contributing 50% to housework and child rearing.
While I am a fan of "intact" families and love that the parents are very involved with their children, there is a bit of a stepfordwive-ish feeling I get from the homogenity in the community. I can imagine that it would be very hard for a single-parent family to feel a strong sense of belonging 'round these parts. Even I get that feeling at times for my non-SAHM status.
