1978, Arnlaug Leira, quoting fru D. (anonymized), Me kan'kje klaga –?: Pendlerkoner på Sør-Vestlandet, Stavanger: Rogalandsforskning/Institutt for samfunnsforskning, page 64:Men det kan vera eit stort problem for mange unge som ikkje har slekta eller familie i nærheta og små bodn. Å vera åleine mens mannen er borte, sjøl om bodna er i skulealderen, det er heller ikkje alltid så kjekt.- But it can be a big problem for many Young people that don't have their family nearby and small children.
