At first glance this article makes me very angry, it makes it sound like women just want to be mooches. After some thought I think you are right about the "sour grapes" wrath being written here. I agree that more women want to stay at home, but they want the satisfaction of fullfilling the role of running the house and being a mother.

I say we need more stay at home moms! In my opinion it is key for a great relationship. When quality time can be spent as a family, instead of managing the stress, the relationship is stronger!

The women's lib movement has brainwashed all of us, and it's the men who have benefitted the most. The New Testament says that a man who doesn't provide for his family is worse than an infidel/unbeliever. I don't see any point in condemning women for wanting to assume their natural role. I'd love to be a stay-at-home wife, but I'm my hubby has other ideas.

I didn't get the impression from reading the article that there is disdain for housewives or stay-at-home moms. I picked up that some of these women are claiming to stay at home to raise their kids and be a housewife in lieu of work but aren't doing the work end of housewifery. I can't blame them, cooking & cleaning isn't really fun and if you have the money, by all means hire someone to do it. But to do it under the mask of being a selfless mother when some of them are clearly just lazy and don't want to report to a boss while having their own staff to do their personal work. Just stop pretending they are so selfless when they've got it all.
