[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was a SAHM who never worked (beyond volunteering) her whole life.[b] She had a very good financial situation because of my father's career. [/b]My dad was a good person and they were married for 60+ years. Nevertheless, at mid-life she felt unfulfilled and had periods of deep unhappiness. This arrangement doesn't mean that life is perfect because of it. It's one way to live but I don't think it should be idealized as a much better way to live. Read The Feminine Mystique about "the problem with no name" for the post-war, educated, upper middle-class woman. As another poster pointed out, lots of women worked. My husband's grandmother worked in a factory pre- and post-WWII. His mother always worked. [/quote] She had a very good financial situation because of my father's GENEROSITY. Fixed it for you. How would it have gone for her if he'd left?[/quote]
