I tend to agree, but women don't want to be home alone with kids. Historically, women would share duties with other women in the village so there was a lot more socializing and mentorship. It must have been fulfilling to start out a young inexperienced women in your village and eventually become an influential matriarch, with knowledge in herbal medicine, nursing, textiles, pottery, basketry, child development, leadership, storytelling, etc.

Stay at home moms are always having get togethers, play dates, catching up for coffee, etc. The more of your friends who are stay at home moms the easier it becomes to be a stay at home mom.
