      I used to manage a factory and we had every step of the employees process to make things quicker and more efficient. They worked piece work.the more they produced the more they made. Some of the stitchers made more than i did. Some worked 2 jobs and the night jobs paid more than our day job. They made a lot of money. We should bring back the factory jobs to this country. That is why so many people back then could buy a house.

    My Mother grew up with the Gilbreths in Montclair, NJ. She said they were a strange bunch. Of course she was talking about the kids her age. I believe they lived a couple of blocks away. It seems you have never seen the older film of 'Cheaper by the dozen.' The older movie covers many of the areas that you speak of.

    There was a film about them made decades ago that was much closer than the Steve Martin one. It was also called “Cheeper By the Dozen” but it wasn’t a comedy Per se. It was a Wholesome look at a large family with the parents as sufficiency experts. It even had the dad die of the heart attack and the family moving forward from it. The only thing the Steve Martin remake had in common was the title.
