English term or phrase: 2.2 children

Life used to be so straightforward. Father made a daily trek to the office, while Mother held the fort at home, cooking, sewing and popping the odd tranquillizer. Their 2.2 children watched and learnt. Peter wanted to be an engine driver when he grew up, but would end up in middle management like his father. Jane wanted to be just like Mummy, but better dressed. The only thing their upbringings had in common was a shared affection fro Pat the dog. It was a man’s world and that world meant work.
