Also I never thought about how little media shows families realistically. But even then it’s still a father raising three kids and providing for a stay at home wife which is…lol. Maybe it was doable pre-2008 though.
Lois isn’t a stay-at-home mother, despite having 4 children, she works part-time at a large pharmacy store and some other gigs. I believe it also talks about how despite having a college degree, she is unable to find better work due to long gaps of unemployment due to pregnancy and child-rearing.
I mean its still possible but its like the person has to be petit bourgeois to make it. A business owner like auto repair or car dealership or (maybe) dentist.

Oh shit that’s right I totally forgot! Damn that is pretty surprising considering the time it came out
Malcolm in the Middle is down right Marxist in its portrayal of class antagonisms compared to literally every other sitcom.
Damn okay maybe it’s time for a rewatch
