Whether ‘trad wife’ or SAHM’,
I cannot believe how people think that not going out to work would mean a woman has nothing to think about or talk about! A limited world!
Maybe it is the opposite because of having time to read, think, listen to news, and possibly go out to see people or museums etc. Not to say, a woman in this position may also be very creative, knitting, sewing doing upholstery to a virtually professional standard; or writing or collecting information for the family history, for example.
They could have a very active, communicative, social life; or be contributing to a wider community in some way.
On the other hand, getting up, getting children’s breakfast and packed lunch, getting home at six with tired hungry children who have homework, being exhausted, cooking cleaning and dropping into bed wiped-out may make for quite a limited world too -necessary though it might be for financial reasons.
This 100%. Since I had kids and went part time, in a simple but decent paid 'admin job,' I have SO much more of an enriched and full and interesting life than when I was child free and working all the hours God sends. (My kids are grown and left now. And I went part time when I had my first at around 30, and stayed part time.)
My full time corporate job was all work work work. My employer was always setting targets and goals and doing appraisals to see how I could 'improve,' and sending me off on courses that they thought I needed, but bored me to fucking death. I left the house at 7.15am and rarely got home before 6.30pm. I was sometimes given work to take home if I had not finished what I was given to do!
My work hours were 8.45am til 5.15pm Mon-Fri, and sometimes something would come up that would keep me there til 5.30pm or 5.45pm or even 6pm, and I would not get paid for it. If I started to put my coat on at 5.14pm to 5.16pm my (male) manager would say 'leaving early are you part timer?' 
He stayed til 6pm quite often, but that's because he was married with 2 little kids and wanted to stay away from the responsibility of his kids as long as possible. So even though he should have finished at 5.15pm, he stayed til 6pm quite often just arseing about and phoning his mates or his mum, then he would fuck off to the pub til 8pm!
So anyone else having the audacity to leave ON TIME was treated with scorn ... If you didn't give your ALL to the company - you were accused of not being a team player 🙄 'team work makes the dream work FreshWinterMorning, don't forget that!'
But yeah, fuck full time work. I went part time in my early 30s, and never went back to full time. (Was a SAHM for about 7-8 years in my mid to late 30s/early 40s,) and fucking LOVED it. I returned to work when they were a bit older - but only 18-20 hours a week. (Over 2 days.) SAHMs have the best life, and it is certainly not BORING! Yes it's hard work til the kids go to school, but then it's fucking brilliant. Much better than working full time in a boring minimum pay job, or a demanding corporate job. Give me a life of a homemaker/SAHM any day over 'a job!'
I am not talking about a very well paid illustrious career, I mean 'working for the man!'
