This week we talked about working mothers and fathers. Men started leaving the home for work in the 1800’s during the Industrial Revolution. Women did the same thing during WWII. Work and family life used to be the same thing and you would do it with everyone if your family. Now they are two separate lives. After 1949 we haven’t seen women flood back home and out of the work force. We see the opposite. Women are still flooding the workforce today. Women now take up 60% of the workforce. We also read an article called "Does a full time mother swap her mind for a mop?" It was a really interesting article that made me feel better about wanting to be a stay at home mom. It explained all the benefits of being a stay at home mom.
