“Men’s jobs easily supported a middle-class family.”

That was not true in our case. But my mom managed things so as we kids did not know the difference.

Same for our family, as Dad didn’t “go to work” like most fathers. He didn’t make much — country preacher was primary, and then he was a substitute school bus driver. Neither paid well. But Mom was home all the time and “managed things”.

My post pertained to the overall change in our civilization. Rush had a way of explaining this much better than I can.
