7 QUOTES WITH «BREADWINNER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word breadwinner.
1
Shirley Bassey
I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.
2
Charisma Carpenter
I am a single mom and I'm the breadwinner and I have to work and I have to do these things and that's just the way it is. I don't think my son even knows any different.
3
Dorothy Fields
The man in our society is the breadwinner; the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.
4
Katherine Jenkins
If you love somebody, you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner, my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work, whatever the situation.
5
Frances O'Grady
I worry that some politicians still think we are living in the 1950s where the man is the main breadwinner and the woman works for pin money. Actually, most families where there are two parents depend on two incomes to get by.
6
Thomas Perez

7
Honeysuckle Weeks
