What about before and after? My mom stayed at home to raise us but she got a job out of college, met dad, had us, and returned to work after we were in school.

My grandmother had a job as a maid before she met my grandfather. My other grandmother worked in my grandfathers shop. Nope. I don't have a single family member that never had a job.
