Different experiences...
Our youngest son has never known a day in his life where his mother left home to go to a job. It is interesting to observe his view of what the roles of men and women are as opposed to that of his older brother. When our oldest son was little his mother worked outside the home. He often went to work with her and was able to see her caring for patients and also doing routine tasks like ordering business supplies. When our youngest son was born my wife decided to find work that she could do from home. Although she still works and earns money our youngest son is oblivious to this. The other day he pointed out to us that men leave the house and go to work. When we asked what women do he replied that something to the effect that a woman's job is to stay home and cook. My wife found this quite humorous and wasn't the least be offended. One day our little guy will realize that his mother has had quite a full plate over the years and that cooking was the least of her responsibilities.
