[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every woman in my family (mom, stepmom, both of my grandmothers) worked outside of the home. Even my great-grandmothers worked (on my mom's side - Puerto Rican - [b]poor women have always worked[/b]!). Growing up in DC, all of my friends mothers worked. Once I was spending some time with my stepmother's SIL and asked her what she did for work. She snapped "I'm raising a family." I was ten and had just never been around SAHMs! Now I'm a SAHM to a toddler and can't imagine myself doing this when my kids are in middle school, which is how old hers were at that time. [/quote] Thank you. The housewife fable from the first half of the 20th century only applies to a certain class -- or to men who were willing to live in poverty because they were opposed to their wives working.[/quote]
