[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Beneath the cheery surface, there is a tremendous amount of fighting over/stressing over money in Mormon families, even *seemingly* affluent ones. You have a culture where women are encouraged not to work and stay home and couples are encouraged to have a lot of kids at an early age. That means that a Mormon man is often supporting a family of 5+ in his 20s and many struggle to do so. But even if they're struggling and fight a lot about money, they'll pretend to have it together.

That's also why so many women are so susceptible to the lure of MLMs which promise them that they don't have to work outside the home but they can make money to help out.[/quote]

You have repeated this a couple of times.  I don't think it is true.  I do think that women in this culture are under stress, but not because of money, it is because they feel pressure to be perfect.  And that pressure doesn't come from the church or its teachings, but from internal feelings of not measuring up to the ideals that we are to strive toward.[/quote]
