[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my family, the last three matriarchs all WOH when they had small children. Same for DH’s family and nearly all of my friends. It might be an ethnic thing: we’re AA. I have Latinx friends in which the matriarch SAH or only WOH PT. The concept does seem less prevalent among my friends of other ethnicities, but I suspect this is because the matriarch often lives on another continent. A friend traveled with her baby to India this summer because her great-grandmother is too frail to make that journey.[/quote] We are AA also and we don't have any kind of matriarch. Are you from the south? I wonder if it may be a regional concept. My and my husband's immediate and extended family operate more as OP describes.[/quote]
