Anyhow, this whole idea that what happened in the 1950's was the norm is so overblown. It was a unique aberration in history, and none of us can say our mothers came through it unscathed. I'm a working single mom who just moved to a "traditional" suburb and I can't tell you how helpful the moms who stay at home have been! But part of that might be because I've found the right mix for me between work and being home, and I'm comfortable with my choices. But I guarantee it's not the right mix for someone else; just like my choice of career or how I dress wouldn't be right for someone else either! Great blog item!
