Mother OUTRAGED over child's homework assignment

This is a news story

And you just shared it to hundreds of more people genius

But it's summer time

It is pretty fricked up to put an agenda like that in a homework assignment. Kind of agree with the outraged mom.

Actually I didn't share a link at all, purposefully.

But also, thank you for the compliment. I enjoy being called a genius.

n this day and age, we're going to tell kids that mothers working outside the home makes their children and families unhappy? That fathers don't normally do things like cook and wash the dishes?"

She's got a point. The man making breakfast in this day and age?! Bitch needs to find the kitchen and stay there.

I'm sure you're being sarcastic but that's the line of thinking that she's outraged over. The sad thing is that there are plenty of men out there that really do think this way.

I read the assignment, i'm not outraged. I'm not even perturbed. But I get it at least why it would bother her.

kind of took it as the author is anti mom working but maybe I'm overthinking it.

I don't think it's pro or anti moms working. I think it's simply saying that some moms work, and some kids deal with it. It's neutral, and if some kid reads it whose mom doesn't work then he just discovered that other families work different than his, that's good.

Fun fact, Dr Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat because he felt like latchkey kids were under represented in kids lit and they might feel shitty about it.

And he asked Lisa to wash the dishes. That was not too good, either.

Lisa's father is cheating on her mother

Found the real tragedy here.
