Livre d'Or

Yes, this is why I prefer to say "poor people" rather than "working class". My grandmother was poor because my grandfather divorced her in her late 40s before no-fault divorce and kept all the money and the house (both my mother and uncle got Commonwealth scholarships to go to university, but she had to push them into it rather than dropping out and getting jobs). By class analysis she would have been born working class and married into middle class, but by actual reality she was just plain poor until her kids were old enough to support her. But I do find it very weird that the working-class woman is stereotyped as looking after the kids when in reality she most likely had several precarious part-time jobs while looking after the kids, or a full-time job while someone else (usually a relative) looked after the kids.
