In the 1950's most family income would have been provided by a single bread winner. In 2014, the family income would almost certainly be brought in by two individuals. That changes the math significantly!

The math may change, but not necessarily the outcome. I know plenty of two-income families that end-up spending the bulk of the second income on child-care and "compensatory expenditures". What I mean by that is in compensation (guilt) for not spending time with their kids, they either buy the kids whatever they want, or just hand them cash and send them off with their friends.
In reality, everyone would be better-off if one parent just stayed home and actually played the role of a parent.
