Yeah I think there's this fictional idea that families in the past didn't struggle with money and need both parents to work. My father worked full time and my mother worked about 30 hours a week when I was a child (1970s).
We have a lot of fiction about the past. I'm one of those assholes that points out fictional narrative are actually just fictional any chance I get
