It's called housewives, a concept abandoned by most of the modern world.

  And for good reasons.

    Good reasons such as? I think the rise of the dual income household is a major contributor to many problems. This is not to say that woman in the workplace is bad, I think a diverse workforce is a good thing. But the dual income family has lessened parent-child interaction and raised the average household income which I think raises general prices for just about everything, but especially housing. This makes it harder to get by as a single parent (which tends to affect woman more than men). And the increased cost of housing is a major problem and contributor to poverty and all the issues that brings. It might have been better if the addition of woman to the workplace included an equal shift of men to a househusband role. PS I like your username.

      I am women. It would have to be me who would have to stay. And I did stayed some time while the kids were small and disliked that a lot. You get used to depression as a normal state, basically.
