[quote=Anonymous]I’m bothered by the people who are saying “job of consequence”. SAH years ago was not what people think of now, when even for a SAHP, there is more equity in the home. It was the Job (capital J) of that woman to run the household, clean and serve all meals, raise the children, and make sure she was presentable to her husband, and basically “serve” him. It’s not so long ago that women were expected to not hold a job after getting married, couldn’t get a credit card for themselves, etc. So yes, while some women DID hold jobs of consequence, you have to understand that at the time, it really wasn’t the norm. And OP, you don’t have a difficult life making ends meet, either if you’re having beach vacations. At the time, your MIL may have had to cut from the household budget by scrimping on groceries or whatever in order to get those vacations even though she wasn’t out earning the money. [/quote]
