How would you represent a character who had a spouse and two children? And the spouse works, helping to support the family?

I'm using the Advanced Lifestyles rules, so I pegged it over to 3 guests,and added Perfect Room-mate. And (coupled with the Dependants negative quality) that'd be fine, for a stay-at-home spouse. But if s/he works, and earns money towards the family's bottom line ... how best to represent THAT?
