Thanks LauraGigs, and thanks brokeplex!!
LauraGigs, firstly I will try to add or reply to your comment. Of course, Ennis was bothered because his wife went for the second shift, likely so since he considered himself a man, a spouse and a father, and the primary breadwinner then. But may I wonder if his wife wanted him to be the primary breadwinner? May I ask?

brokeplex: Ennis, I figure, would have made a good houseperson, since he loved his children, and may I say his love too was for his wife!
Regarding that, when my father became ill, he stayed at home. Luckily, mother was forced as such to go to work outside the house, since she was the houseperson before that! That bothered father for the rest of his life that he could not anymore provide for her and us kids!! It would have been a shame to get welfare then... but none would have been given even.
In Montréal last November 2007, I was shocked (surprised too) as well as pleased finally when I asked a male young artist I was exhibiting with at an art exhibition there in that city, what kind of work he did, and that he told me that he was the houseperson and that his wife worked outside the house!! They have kids too!! I am still puzzled... by that! Since, he wants to work as that, plus or more, I felt??
...
So yes it would have happened then and would be now too that Ennis would have been an houseperson!!
May I say, yes!
...
That is one more reason for me to say that Alma Jr. knew that her father was bi or gay!! May I guess!! ??
hugs, hugs!!
