This would only work if each is capable of earning enough to support three; not necessarily the same amount, but it would probably have to be close. For this reason alone it would be nice to marry someone of my own economic "class" (NO FLAMES!) if given a choice. Not that anyone has a choice about such things--I don't expect to *select* the person I fall in love with. Granted it could be a pain in the ass at times, but there must be a lot of rewards to raising the kid(s) also. It'd be kind of neat to take a year or two off of "work"... Then with a terminal and net "connection" I would have the time to be as prolific as some of the rest of you--uh oh, maybe I shouldn't have given you any warning... SJBerry
