[quote=Anonymous]My mother worked during high school and college. She worked before she had children. She stopped working for a few years when she had young children and then resumed work.

My mother's mother worked before marriage. She was not allowed to continue in her job as a librarian once she was married. She never worked after that.

My father's mother worked before marriage in a family business. She stopped working when she had children and resumed work when her marriage imploded.

My mother in law worked during high school. She stopped working when she had children and resumed work when her marriage imploded.

My mother in law's mother worked beginning in childhood. She took a short break from working when her husband was stationed overseas.

So far as I know, there is no one in my family line, male or female, who has not worked outside the home, same in my husband's. We don't come from rich people. Often the women who took time off during child rearing years were doing something else to bring in money, such as taking in a neighbor's kids or taking in sewing.[/quote]
