i'd take Florida. Both were stay at home wives but at least Florida took care of home, cook, clean, etc..., Weezy never did a damn thing but sit on her ass
you forget..by the time we see the Jeffersons, Weezy didn't have to work. But George mentioned that she worked as a maid and most likely worked in his cleaners as well in the beginning..
Meanwhile Florida was a stay at home mom because James was AGAINST her working or even getting a high school diploma (James had some shit with him too it wasn't all Florida's fault..lol)
But lets tally up how many opportunities Florida blew for the family because of her values:
**James finds about 25k on the street from a botched bank robbery. She convinces him to return it (no reward from the bank) but he pockets
2,500...she convinces him to donate THAT to the church.
**Reverend Sam, a flashy televangelist who instead of living the word uses religion as a hustle, pays a call on his old army buddy James and offers him a job with his entourage that will pay him
$700 a week(Sam told James "$100 a day, 7 days a week").
However, Florida, who sees right through Sam's act, is less than thrilled that her husband would want to work with him. James then has a clash of conscience when he sees how Sam's hustle really works and when JJ thinks about following in that path.
**James informs the family that he is considering a new job that will pay
$500 a week. The only problem is that the job is in Alaska and he would have to spend a year away from the family. Guess who had a problem with it..
**Florida is offered a job as a pitch woman for Vita-Brite energy drink. She turns it down when its discovered that Vita-Brite has alcohol in it (Micheal gets drunk).
**Florida finds out that the family is about to be evicted for failure to pay rent. When the movers arrive, James becomes desperate and pulls out his pool cue to hustle a few games to try to win the money. Adamantly against gambling, Florida decides to take a more tactful approach and apply for welfare, but she is refused due to the fact that James made too much money. Much to her chagrin James actually WINS the money and is able to keep them in that crappy-ass apartment at least for one more month.
James had least TWO opportunities to make enough money to get his family out of the ghetto..and each time Sidney Sadsack talked him out it..
