If your wife worked outside the home she'd get impolite comments from family, acquaintances, and random strangers about working outside the home instead of being home with the kids.
In this day and age? Does that still happen? Asking because honestly that’s so far from my personal experience.
Ha! Yes, of course. I get this all the time. Shocked reactions from people when I tell them our baby is in daycare. Sometimes it's more subtle and framed as "oh, it's too bad you can't afford to stay home with him," as if it couldn't possibly have been my choice.
Which is to say, I have the highest respect for SAHM moms because it's a damned difficult job.
Yes, absolutely, it happens a ton. The Duggars even turn it into "wholesome family TV."
