Also, I like that you bring up the sexism of stay at home mom. Her work was, and is, minimized. People didn't live within one parent working. They lived with one parent earning an income and the other working her ass off to stretch the value of that income. That is two people working. My grandma would cut the wax paper out of finished cereal boxes to wrap lunch sandwiches in. If it's yellow let it mellow was standerd operating procedure. My mom reports she was even expected to pull the outer layer of a used qtip off so that the inner cotton would not be wasted.
Families today have little perspective on how rich and spoiled they are.
