Sterotypes of Mothers

Always cleaning
Shows where you can find these mothers:

          A lot of this information comes from the article, "Two Washes in the Morning and a Bridge Party at Night", which is all about the risks of being a stay at home mother.  These risks are things such as if something were to happen (health wise) to your husband, you would not be able to provide for your family.  In this economy especially you would struggle to find a job of any kind, and most likely if you were to find one the income wouldn't be a suitable exchange for the loss of your husband.  If you just happen to get a divorce, the same thing would follow, finding a job would become rather difficult and as a result any number of things could happen, even the courts could take away your kids.  Also, most marriages with stay at home mothers end up in divorce one the kids are grown up because the parents didn't live on their own or have their own lives and they begin to resent each other.
