Seriously, having the wife stay home and keep house wasn't such a bad thing. It's good for a family for one parent to keep house and the raise children full time. Someone that doesn't have to leave work when the kid gets sick. Someone at home when the children gets home from school. Someone who doesn't have to work all day then do housework at night. Someone that isn't forced to choose between their job and their family on a daily basis.
