[quote=Anonymous]Not that I'm defending the insensitive and haughty SAHM, but I assumed that when she said "therapies", she meant having a parent present for the kid's therapy session. Our son is SN, I SAHM permanently, and he has a two hour therapy session three times a week that I'm present for the entire time.

I grew up in LA circa the 80s and my parents were working class. I'm not sure how much they made, but I remember them discussing the salaries of relatives in hushed, gossipy tones, and being impressed when my uncle was bringing home $60k. So I have to assume that they made much less. Dad worked in aerospace, mother worked in insurance and customer service, but she had a chronic health issue that prevented her from working a lot of the time.

Does anyone remember the episode of Roseanne where Darlene was offered a job making $30k a year, and how angry her parents were that she turned down the job? Roseanne stated that no person in their family had ever made that kind of money. This was the midwest in the mid 90s, and I think they were pretty accurate there. [/quote]
