[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question is inherently stupid,[b] given that the majority of women have always had to work to help their families survive. [/b]

This conversation is for a few privileged women to kvetch over. The rest of us know that this world will never be good for women and girls until we crush the patriarchy and stand on truly equal footing with men in all areas of life.[/quote]

This is often repeated on here. That only white women in the 1950s stayed home.

But I find it hard to believe that all of these women were working full time out of the house jobs. Why? [b]Daycare wasn’t a thing[/b]. Didn’t exist. Who was watching the kids of all these moms who were working?[/quote]

Yes, grandma. She worked all her life as a maid, then took care of the kids while my mother worked a job with a salary.[/quote]

So grandma didn’t need to be employed or retired early to watch the kids?

I’m still suspicious about all these working women without any form of childcare.  Doesn’t really make any sense.  My guess is most of these working women were working part time or shift work. But certainly not out of the house from 8-6 PM every day five days a week.  These women would need to be home to prepare dinner, clean the house etc. [/quote]

I’m with you.  I’ve read a lot of Jane Austen, Little House on the Prairie, Little Women, etc.  None of these depict married women with children working outside the home and living in extended family homes.  [/quote]

have you read prairie fires, Laura’s biography? Highly highly recommend. The ingalls women’s lives border on hellish in reality — the worst of both worlds. Ma is a homemaker subject to pa’s terrible planning and manic whims. Laura does work outside the home as soon as she possibly can, until she is married, to another hapless man.  The mothers themselves have too much work to do to leave the house. It’s so far from the idyll presented in the children’s books, which is why I roll my eyes when homeschooling friends I know use the little house series as history books.[/quote]

I have.  
My point wasn’t that their life was idyllic, just that the women were all SAHMs and that we didn’t all just invent gender roles in the 1950’s.

Also, do you really think that there aren’t any SAHMs today who work really really hard and do a ton of work at home?  Are all of your homeschooling friends married to wealthy men?  I have several friends who take care of little children, grow and can lot of their own food, sew a lot of their own clothes, keep animals, take care of elderly relatives, etc.   [b]Women who don’t earn an income are considered SAHMs no matter how hard they work.

Not how this works [/quote]

It is how this works.  
Women who stay at home with their children and do not earn an income are SAHMs.  Being a working mom refers to earning an income through outside employment.  It doesn’t refer to how hard you work.

That's not what you wrote, Chat GPT.
Please brush up on your language skills if you're going to troll [/quote]

That is what I wrote.  You bolded:

“Women who don’t earn an income are considered SAHMs no matter how hard they work”

How is this a troll post?

[/quote]

Yes and that is false and also not what you wrote in your second post when you were called out.

You're quite obviously a troll from incel land who posts the same drivel every week, multiple times a week and I'm not sure why you haven't been banned yet.[/quote]

It’s exactly the same thing.  
Why would a troll from incel land defend SAHMs for working hard and read Jane Austen?  [/quote]
