ABC Afterschool Specials : Mom's On Strike (1984)





Made for ABC, airing November 14th in the US.
Season 13. Episode 4.
The story: Ellie Skinner is a very busy wife and mother of four.
She also works outside the house part-time with a 20-minute break, that is after seeing all the kids off to school and her husband off to work.
Everyone in the house depends very heavily on Ellie to do just about everything and it's clearly a bit overwhelming.
But no one in the house gets that.
Ellie does her best to keep up with everything everyone needs done but she just cannot.
When she tries talking to her family about helping around the house, no one is listening.
That same day, when Ellie's oldest daughter arrives home, she finds her mother picketing in the front yard...
Her mother is on labor strike.
