[QUOTE="vinny, post: 18306, member: 301"] [b]Ask away[/b] I always get sceptical when I hear about all the women staying at home looking after the kids. This seems to be some fantasy. I'm 50 and yes women as a whole did not work out of the home as much but remember there wan't birth control. Most families were much larger and yes gang those women were working thier tales off.
