In reply to the discussion: Ann Romney hasn't "worked a day in her life” at job for a paycheck. So what's the problem? [View all]Better Believe It
(18,630 posts)71. You're right. She's a poor working class person who has struggled to provide for her family.
Thanks for the correcting my wild speculation!
Here's their modest little home in Lake Winnepesaukee, New Hampshire.

And this is the nice little beach front home in La Jolla, California. The Romney's will tear this now and replace it with a two-story mansion. I bet these two homes have keep Mrs. Romney busy with housekeeping chores! I hear they can't afford to hire help.

The new home Romney plans to build will be a two-story mansion covering around 11,000 square feet. Since hes pretty busy at the moment, his renovation plans have been put on hold. Until then, let me share the lovely mansion he bought in 2008 for $12 million that will eventually get demolished. This Spanish style home has 3 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms covering one hardwood floor with vaulted ceilings. Found in a quite cul-de-sac, the highlights center around the beachfront backyard. A large deck gives a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, with several patio areas for outdoor dining, lounging and entertaining. The backyard features varied flowers, plant-life and manicured lawns. Note the backyard runs along the premium white sand beach front, giving instant and private access. The total property area is 18,920 square feet, so the new home will extend along the beachfront. The unique hidden pool and spa will be the only original feature that will be kept after the new home is built.

OP
Any evidence that she was a "full-time homemaker" taking care of a mansion all by herself?

Totally relevant. A working woman carries out responsibilities and work for her family.

That is a valid point, not that it has ever stopped either party before.

Insulting to her, who probably hasn't worked a day in her life, but not to working class women.

I would think that she probably has a "house manager" for each and every home they own.
