Wife staying at home were rules made prior to "Birth Control" and technology advances.
When I as a child, seven brothers and sisters. Mom had no washing machine, no clothes dryer, no running water/indoor plumbing. I was probably born when there was no electricity in homes in North Louisiana. I remember my Mom using an Iron that was heated on a wood stove. My older sisters trying to do homework with kerosene lamps.
So yeah, in todays society women should work if she and spouse so desire.
My wife is an RN. She worked while I was in college. We had our first child my Sr. year. She is a very strong person. She worked as an nurse/RN for over fifty years. She worked and went to school to earn her RN. She is awesome still.
We never used day care for our boys. We worked different shifts.
Were the boys handicapped?
Nope! One has a EE degree.
One has a Computer Science degree.
Neither had a student loan.
Both are married, once, and both have two outstanding children.

How old are you? Were you born in 1870 or something?
