I can only speak for myself. I want my wife to stay home and take care of the house, do the school runs, make me dinner, do our washing and generally run our lives.
When our daughter was born, I stayed home with her and my wife worked. When our daughter was 6 my wife had a seizure in the middle of the night, never had one before, never had one since, and after months of tests they never did find out what caused it.
It did some damage and her memory isn’t as good as it was, she can’t process things as quickly and can’t follow anything too complex, she gets tired and sometimes I am not as funny as I think I am (must be a side effect of the seizure because I am sure I am hilarious)
I want her to stay home and do what she can, to sleep when she gets tired, to get to know neighbors, to do gardening (which apparently is fun, not work), to be happy. Rather than go back to work, cry every night about the job and then lose her job due to not being able to keep up, which is what did happen when she insisted she was ok to go to work.
We are lucky that I make enough now that we can live with one income, we had some very rough years at first but now 9 years later we are happy as can be, I still do the stuff she really hates doing around the house (who doesn’t love cleaning up puke from sick kids), and she is doing all she can.
