nstoolman1 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Well I disagree with the second sentence. Years ago, when my parents were alive, dad worked mom stayed home. We 7 kids grew up believing that was the way to do it. Later generations wanted more stuff quickly soooo, the wife needed a job to help pay for more stuff instead of investing time at home and kids. People laugh at Ozzie and Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, Di*k Van Dyke show, Father knows Best but those shows were a model of what works. Outside of the nuclear family you take situations as they come. GOD, Family, Country. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Mtn. Dinar Posted May 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 When I was a child in the 60's, we lived in the Northeast US. My dad worked at a grocery store, until he got through the police academy, then he was a police officer for several years, until he had to take a disability retirement. Job related injury. My mother had to work too. Because not only were they taking care of us (my parents had 4 daughters). But they had family back in West Virginia, coal country, that were having a hard time. They would send money back to the family there, to help them. When dad retired in 1972, we moved back to the south, to NC. Some just had no choice but to work. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage449 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 My dad farmed plus worked FT at the local grain elevator cleaning grain and making fertilizer. Which eventually gave him cancer. My mom worked FT too just to make farm payment. Was a tough life but didn't seem so at the time and taking care of the house and feeding the threshing crew was my job. I still can't cook right unless cooking for a dozen men. 😆😆😆 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Mtn. Dinar Posted May 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 This was posted on my Face Book page by someone I know from another Dinar Board I used to go to. I like the way he thinks. He wasn't the original author of it though. Just thought I'd add that little bit of info. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nstoolman1 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I speak only of the normal situation. I have all the sympathy of families that have hardships that force 2 parents to work. That includes single parent families as well. My apologies to those who may have misunderstood or were offended by my post. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most here do, except for the idiot snowflake brigade. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
