I'm a left wing and very educated but begrudgingly admit that my role as mother and homemaker has been exponentially better for my children and my husband's career. Which means better for my life but short term and long term. We could have switched roles but while I could have made what DH makes (which is a lot), he would have been mediocre at raising the kids and keeping our house running. American society is barely set up for 2 working parents, let alone 2 working parents who want to have high-achieving, well-adjusted kids and happy parents. That's why the patriarchy is alive and well. [/quote]

This would be 100% true for me as well![/quote]

Amen but needs to be changed. My brother works from home so naturally takes more responsibilities of children and household than his wife who needs to commute (WFH isn't an option), my mom always praises him like he is Mother Teresa, unlike me and my sister who also are doing the same. I think it's insulting to him, us and his wife, even though we all understand she means well and praises it because most men doesn't step up like him.[/quote]
