Broadening my mind

I've pre ordered Constance Hall's book for teen girls. I'll be reading it first as she did say there would be things we have to decide if our teen is ready to read about. In fairness I think it's me that will enjoy it more than her. I read more of the comments on her post re what what stay at home Moms do when the kids were at school with the their free time.Of course plenty joked about the cliched eat bon bons on the couch and watch daytime TV(which people seem to think is worse than other TV for some reason). I'm not sure where that cliche came from , it wasn't there before. Women were at home doing plenty of things that probably took us more effort than it does now. Like growing and harvesting vegetable, feeding hens, baking bread, bringing in firewood or turf to keep a fire constantly going, handwashing everything and drying it without a dryer. I presume in Winter things were clean but but smelt of whatever fuel was it was hung in front of to dry.And they had more people around them with bigger families and neighbours helping eachother.I'm sure there was plenty squabling and bitching back then or criticism of who didn't do enough work or didn't do it 'right'.And I don't think any of us want to turn back the clock even though some aspects of this lifestyle do appeal.
Some said they went back to work ,sure what else would you be doing? Others talked about having a day drink, a date with BOB or getting high instead as they found it affected them more positively than alcohol. From what I understand Marijuana is legal in some states in Australia so they probably weren't doing anything illegal.
 I wasn't surprised that they were doing any of these things, I was surprised they were putting it out there on a public page. My days are alot less excitng but yet I'd be scared of the backlash. Especially seeing the trolling Constance gets. To the point there was a secret Facebook Hate Group that sent her threats and naked photos to her ex husband. I mean I don't agree with everything she says and wouldn't be comfortable with her level of sharing but no one is forcing me to bother with her. Much the same as the Kardashians etc. I mean if something isn't for you why not scroll on and give the attention to the things you like? It seems like a a complete waste of time spew hate at someone you don't even know(ditto  goes for people you do know )
I mean how to people put up with it? They share an authentic part of themselves or talents which seems to polarise people. Of course I think negatively but thats generally fleeting. I'm having a bad day, I'm not using my time wisely, why can't I write like her?Thats my thing , my one issues. I do think it's good to share and it makes people feel less alone but making yourself vulnerable is hard.

Penelope Trunk did this when she found she couldn't cope in Boston.http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2018/10/11/the-benefits-of-transparency-are-bigger-than-you-can-imagine-which-is-why-transparency-feels-so-hard/#more-14819http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2018/10/11/the-benefits-of-transparency-are-bigger-than-you-can-imagine-which-is-why-transparency-feels-so-hard/#more-14819 There were supportive comments but plenty saying she'd made her own bed . One even said they didn't like how she advised them when they paid for coaching so they wouldn't be harsh which came across as 'good enough for you'.A few said she shouldn't share so much about her boys, that they will resent her in the future.  'Not that Melissa' ( she's not the Melissa who Penelope writes about) comments that the mores on sharing and privacy are changing so in theory we will all have less shame and uncomfortablness around our so called flaws.
