My mother always put Worcestershire in meatloaf and growing up in the 1950s and '60s, that was at least once a week. It was also in her 'One Dish Barbecue'. Hot dogs, boiled potatoes, onions and tomato sauce. That was good enough that I cribbed the sauce recipe for other meals, too. I made a batch for my 30th high school reunion. I'm lucky I brought my dog home!
It was the '80s and things were a little more slack. Back then the DOD didn't object (as much) to single moms in the military -- that changed in the '90s. Her mother was a surgeon in the military hospital on Okinawa; the Navy effectively forced her to resign her commission (by denying her promotions) when my GF was 9. She came 'back' to a country she'd never seen as her mother took a job in a hospital.
When I was in the USAF (late 70s/early 80s), they frowned on men who refused to support their families/children. In fact, if you were married or a father, you were required by the USAF to give your wife half of your pay. (I know. I had to give my now ex-wife an allotment amounting to half of my pay.) I didn't mind because I had always been taught to support your family (even if your wife openly admitted to you that she despised you).
