The Simpsons: Marge's Biggest Mystery Has a Simple Explanation

All this time, it has been providing the audience with great storylines that can be analyzed over and over again.

There are several questions in the series that for a long time remained unanswered. One of them is Marge Simpson's non-existent career mystery.

Well, while the writers tried to explain that fact several times, still the explanation offered recently in season 34 was considered to be standing out and frankly sounded about true.

So, according to episode 15 called Bartless (which pictured a new alternative universe in which Bart doesn't exist), Marge is shown as a chief of medicine in Springfield's swanky veterinary hospital.

Apparently, Bart's birth put a stop on what could have happened to his mom's professional aspect of life, leaving her as a homemaker.

The plotline implies that Bart alone is too much to handle, so the choice to be a full-time mother was made out of not having any other options.

However, this episode still leaves Homer and Marge with their daughters – Lisa and Maggie. It's not that hard to understand who stresses Marge out the most… But this recent explanation does not go with the early ones.

For example, in season 6 episode 13 named And Maggie Makes Three and season 4 episode 10, Lisa's First Word, Marge didn't display any interest in a career outside of homemaking, and it was not Bart's existence that insisted that she let go of her professional ambitions.

All in all, the fans have also offered their own point of view.

"Because the show is a satire on the "average" American family, whereas the mom is the housewife, dad works, and the kids are, well, just kids. They definitely deviate from that at times, but the original show was basically a satire on the American dream," Reddit user striker9119 explained.

Well, it doesn't matter to us, whether Marge's choice was intentional or it's just how her destiny goes – as long as she is happy with how everything turned out. Like they say: happy wife, happy life.
