My mother never worked outside the home a day in her life. Neither did my mother-in-law. They were both stuck in loveless marriages that should have ended long before death took one of them. Because they had no idea how to make their own way in this world without a husband! So, they were stuck in a marriage! Neither one had worked out of the home a day in their life and had no idea how to go about doing it. I stayed at home until my children were grown! But, I don't think they were any better for it than if I had worked out! I also lost my identity! I finally got out and started working and went back to school to get a decent job. I personally think it's a bad idea for a woman to limit herself to the home. The day is going to come when the kids leave home! When she will be forced by circumstances to get a life!
