In other words, if the family doesn't have enough money to buy food to feed themselves and their children.

It would be both the man's fault and the wife's fault. There is two of them so they both should take turns in it or pay half of everything and if they both have a job then they should have enough money to feed themselves and their children and if not then get rid of the things that you don't need and get some food.

Well I guess it would depend of every one's situation seperatly. If a man is capable of working and is not then there is his part of the fault. If you can't even afford to feed your family ladies because your man is lazy then you need to kick him in the bum and tell him to get a job. If the woman is capable and is not then that part is her fault. Do what needs to be done to feed your children. The McDonalds in the next town is ALWAYS hiring.
And in conclusion either parent could hitch a ride to the local welfare office and get food stamps for a month or ask a friend or family member for help to make it thru. Pride is never a reason to starve your kids!
Hope that is something like what you were looking for. Have a great night!

In this day and age, I would say they are both mutually responsible. As a man, I think the husband should take the leadership in this role if possible. There are some situations, however, where the wife has greater earning potential due to education, etc. In that case, the couple need to work together to maximize their household earning power to provide the basic necessities of life. Growing up in a single-parent home in the 60's and early 70's, my brother and sister and I contributed what we could to help our mom pay for the extras.

Not necessarily. There are many people out there who work they butts off called the working poor. They have 2 or 3 jobs a piece (husband and wife) and have their kids and house to pay for, yet because they make to much they cant get gov. help but what they make isn't enough to pay all their bills and buy food for their kids. Some people would rather starve then go on assistance and then you have others who work the system and dont work period. Some times people dont get the opportunity to go to school to better themselves and they get stuck working crappy jobs to make ends meet!

both responsible...even if you are a stay at home mom you should be doing what you can to make the money you have count and if that still doesn't cut it she has to get up and find a way to help provide for the family financially too. I can't stand women who sit around and whine about not having this or that and then you see them just throwing the "family" money away on BS or doing nothing to contribute!

It is both parent's responsibilty to take care of the children. Whether that means both going to work, or one taking care of the children, they should find a situation that they are both happy with. And if they don't have enough money, they need to look into getting a better job, saving money, cutting down on expenses, and apply for assistance if they need it.

both are responsible. if only one parent is working, then the other parent is doubly responsible for not contributing to paying for food for the family. if both parents are working and they don't jointly make enough money to feed their family, then both are still responsible for not asking for help (government, family, friends).
man/ wife doesn't make any difference. it has to do with the household income.

both are, they are both adults and had two children together and now share the responsibility. unless for some reason one parent is physically incapable of supporting the family. most often the man is seen as the primary provider however if he loses his job, i say its still the woman's responsibility to help make ends meet.

Both, raising a family is a group effort not a single persons responsibility. It took two to make the kids so it takes two to provide for them.

It's both the wife and husband's responsibility. It isn't just one or the other. They both have to provide for the family one way or another.
