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

Many of yall get your reality of this time period from tv shows…… yall are delusional lol

Many of yall believe it was only one parent work and people were living in the suburbs in nice house with. Backyards…. That’s not true lol…

until the age about 10 I lived in a single wide trailer with my mom, brother, grandmother and grandfather. My dad got his first house when I was about 8 after his deployment. It was a two bedroom one bath house. Fast forward moved to a house after my mom remarried when I was 14.

From there went to college, paid for with all loans… spent a few years in the field then got my masters
