Who is the breadwinner in your family?

A recent article in the New York Times Magazine looked at how gender stereotypes are breaking down when it comes to the primary breadwinner in families.

The story mostly looked at families in the Southern U.S. We're curious about whether this trend is playing out here in the Pacific Northwest as well. Who's earning the salary you depend on in your family? Have your roles changed in this economy? We'd love to hear about your experience.

What's your family's story? Who works? Who stays home?

Are there unique challenges that come with this situation? If so, how do you deal with those challenges?

Do you feel that your community (or Oregon more generally) is accepting of non-traditional family roles?

What else do you think we should know, or, who else should we talk to on this subject?

May we publish your insights and attribute them to you? (Your comments may be edited for length or clarity.)
