That 'what if I were a wife in the 1950s' image. I like to imagine myself living in the past; not a big fan of modern, post-modern culture. I love this!

I had the privilege of being a stay at home Mom until my children were in middle school, then I went back to work, and I was a young widow at 45 and parlayed my job into a career. I think I had the best of both worlds, and I'm grateful. I admit I do think children need mom at home the first 7 years or so.<br />indybevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505539407819784525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-19595121206722959532021-06-07T07:07:28.634-07:002021-06-07T07:07:28.634-07:00It certainly was a different world!

Eventually she did go to work, in a secretarial job she held for many years, becoming a highly valued office manager. But my Dad did a lot of soul-searching before he allowed (yes!) her to find a job, in case his mates would think he couldn't support his family, which would have been a source of great shame.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-56009358095784071052021-06-07T06:32:29.217-07:002021-06-07T06:32:29.217-07:00Sounds like a dystopian novel.

By the time I was 8 & my little sister & then the twins came along, she'd returned to the workforce (secretarial pool). Since my father was an over-the-road, long-haul, hardly-ever-home truck driver, I often consider myself to be from a single-parent family. I miss her every day.<br />This is an awesome work, Beverly.
