His mother also does not make enough money to afford staying home. Josh makes a decent amount of money so we economically can afford to stay home. She also makes reference to how a few of my other young friends also get to stay home with their children. This assumes my role in a social stratification.

This is against social norm especially in the church because according to the bible we are not supposed to live together until marriage. Social norms are the accepted behaviors in a society. My ascribed status at birth was one of a female. I have taken on the female role and am responsible for cooking, cleaning, laundry, raising my children and caring for my fiancé.
