Yeah, Mein Kampf was quite the eye opener for me too. Having been in grade school in the 70s, I ended up hearing about all of the so-called historical facts many times over. It was difficult to overcome some of that, but I've always been the sort to ask the questions that I'm supposedly not supposed to ask. I'm not very good at math, but I can do enough to know that what I was taught was not the truth, and from there I really started questioning everything.
The small world/big world concept is a great one. Equality isn't sameness, equality is a question of value in a given role. It's not by accident that the Communists have infiltrated our schools, but we've allowed it to happen. Given that the "left" (I don't really like using the left vs right terminology, but it's what people recognize) does get away with a lot of behaviors that would land the rest of us in prison, it does make it more difficult to mount a challenge that would be effective in preventing them some the access they now have. Also inherent in us is our ability to stand and exist as individuals. Most of the time it's a strength, but when communal action is required, our opponents do have us at a disadvantage due to the fact that much of the time, they've only been able to find meaning and identity from within the confines of a group. We don't have that issue, we know who we are, and identity/membership in a given group has never been necessary from a self worth point of view. They do it better simply because they've done it longer.
As for taking care of your family and your house, that is what will be remembered and cherished as you all go on. My mom was a single mother back in the late 60s, and I was raised by my grandparents until I was about seven. When I think back to who made the biggest impression on me, who shaped the man I grew to become, who instilled the values and moral compass I now have, I think of my grandparents, and specifically my grandmother being at home taking care of her home and us, not my mother. It's not that she didn't care, but she was out trying to earn a living to support my brother who was living with her and his father whom she married when I was about a year old. He didn't really want me around, so I ended up with my grandparents. I know from experience that those who have access to kids from the time they are born up through seven or so are the ones who will have the greatest impact on who they turn out to be. Your kids will remember you for being their mom, not for any accomplishments you might have obtained while pursuing a career. You are the hand that rocks the cradle, and that concept is one that has been taken from us that we as a people need to get back.
Have an awesome day.
