In what circles is it socially unacceptable to not have a job? I know of no systematic studies of who does this kind of thing and who does not and what the relative prevalence is, but of my entire extended family on both my side and my wife's side, other than my wife, I can't think of a single wife that has a job, and none of them pretend to have jobs, either.
If we're talking solely of the class of people who own horses kept in upscale stables and have the leisure time to ride them daily, then perhaps for them simply maintaining a household and raising children isn't enough and they feel idle if they don't pretend to have jobs because they can pay full time maids and nannies and maintaining a household and raising children really isn't time consuming and leaves them too much idle time. That is hardly a common position to be in, though.
