I always think of the original Cheaper By the Dozen movie - there is a GREAT scene when the planned barrenhood lady is directed to their house by their good friend (as a joke) because the mom is a college-educated professional (in addition to being a mom, she worked at home assisting her husband in his consulting business). The mom answers the door and no kids are around. The lady then tries to recruit her to lead up the local birth control committee - and wants to use the family's house as the meeting place. She b labbers away about how people have too many kids. Then the mom calls out the children. And the barrenhood lady is mortified. Its a hoot in the book and on screen.
That was in the original? Wow!
