I do not agree with this. My dad has never stopped my mom from working. In fact at one point she made more money than him. She finally quit when she hated her job and wasn’t motivated enough to look for another job in the city we moved to.

My husband has always encouraged me to work. I’m the one who wanted to stay home when my kids were born. I’m already working part time and he fine with any of my decisions. My sister works fulltime, has a kid and does great. Her husband is very supportive. My husband’s sister doesn’t work but the BIL has asked her to find something to keep herself busy now that the kids are grown and she’s bored.

So there you have it.

I didn’t read anywhere in your examples where a woman was asked/forced to not work and stay at home. So I don’t really understand how it is relevant to what I said. My post was directed towards men who are uncomfortable with the concept of their wife working.
