"...make a home, raise children, and not work..."

That's got to be woman's worst nightmare -- having children, running a house and not having to work at a job -- all while being supported by someone else.

It can be if, now that she's raised his kids, he sees no need for her anymore... (such as appears to be the case with the current court case being discussed)

What does she do then? Yeah, that would be the nightmare. But you already knew that.

I always thought that taking care of a home and raising children were work.

Considering I gave up a job as a software engineer to be a stay at home mom, I look at what I gave up for my family. I could easily be making over 100K right now. I didn't have to quit working. I made enough money to hire a nanny.

I won't be able to make as much money now that I haven't worked in 10 years, but that's okay. It's been worth it, but it is a job.
