“The daughter of a financial manager and a stay-at-home mom, her father’s income allowed her to grow up in a large house in a coastal suburb and his hands-on parenting style and graduate school education gave her a live-in tutor and academic coach.”

“Rebels were also unlikely to find professional work as they had false ideas about obtaining it. They tended to believe that jobs and opportunities should come to them, rather than that they would need to look for work.”

“The stay-at-home mother/breadwinning father model is based on the idea that the parent with less workforce experience—and, sometimes, less education, too—spends more time with their children than the parent whose job and education provides them with more academic skills and institutional knowledge. The resources that the family holds then are not passed down to the child, as the parent whose resources are typical of the upper-middle-class does not spend substantial time with the child, while the parent with resources more typical of the working-class does more to raise the child.”
