Thoughts on Harrison Butker:
Remember when OUR Moms stayed home? When one income was enough to support a family? When you had nearly five years to have Mom all to yourself before heading off to school and coming home to find her waiting for you again, the house as clean and tidy as if an army of Merry Maids had been there? Remember those breakfasts and dinners made from scratch? No Pop-Tarts or oven ready pizzas or McDonald's drive thru's for a quick dinner. Nope, they weren't invented. They weren't needed!! There was no Day-Care shortage because the Mom's of America WERE the day-care. I remember Pontiac. The men went off to the plant, or in my Dad's case, school, and made the living.

Times have just changed and the better ways are just out of reach for most.
