Good suggestion from what I've seen. I know many more stay at home moms
than working moms among friends and family from that era.

Of the 50 years we are married, my wife has worked a total of about 12
months. Not a question of right or wrong, just different situations,
different priorities.

I've known people in that situation too. We learned to do those things
when we were kids so it is not a problem now. We made sure our kids were
prepared for life too.
