[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there women out there that have the same dream for their men? Because I don’t love going to the office every day, and would happily have the choice not to.

I am amazed at how old-fashioned Americans sense of gender roles are compared with my home country.[/quote]

Agree this OP is so regressive. In other countries women are grateful to have opportunities that prior generations didn't.[/quote]

Many people in the United States never had the opportunity to take care of their own children. [b]There’s a whole demographic who only experienced life through the lens of constant work.

This is true for many minorities[/b] and can be true for lower income whites as well.

In that context the opportunity to take care of your body and your own children can feel very revolutionary. [/quote]

This has been the case for my family, it took close and extended family a while to come to terms with my not working.

I could never make a personal recommendation to work or not as so many do, so cavalierly. I don't know if they have the privilege of safe and fulfilling employment or financial protections as a sahm. I don't know if their mental health is affected negatively by not working or working. I don't know what their daily lives and children's needs are. Many people dole advice on both ends based on the trauma they've witnessed or experienced. [/quote]
