But what does this have to do with being financially stable. There are tons of women who stay at home and inherit tons of money.
If that is the case, then they are very fortunate that they don't have to work.
A mother's priorities are with her children. If she goes out who will care for her? i know moms who work and throw their kids to daycares like doggs and they grow up and leave the parents when they get older because they didn't get any love when they needed it!
I have a daughter and was working full-time before she was born. But life is full of unexpected surprises and after my Husband died I realised I needed to stand on my own feet and be independant. I was looking after my daughter, working, started a small side business with sisters (our kids were never left with a nanny or ignored) and started further studies again all because I wanted to secure our future even more. I had plenty of help from parents and siblings but I felt it was very important for me to be financially independent, to work and continue studying, invest and keep myself active in general.
