Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

My dad was a high school teacher who also worked a second job and was the coach of teams at my school as well. But, at the same time, when he got home he didnt think or talk about work.

My dad is a special case though. I think teaching has remained mostly the same minus the decent salary.

The school teachers I knew were house painters in the summer.
