I know of two families where the wife was/is a stay at home mum. The first refused to work for 20 years. The husband worked 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for years. Eventually, his body couldn't carry on at that pace, so he had to slow down. They had their house repo'd because he couldn't manage the repayments on their 4 bed, 3 bath house SHE insisted on having.
The house was rarely clean, and to add insult to injury, she never cooked meals.
Wife #2 has not worked for 12 years. The husband works all hours. She never helps the children with homework, and their flat is a tip! He can't afford his own home and rents, and battles to pay the rent and utilities.
These two scenarios anger me. Wife #1 got a well-paying job AFTER they lost their home and can never buy another home again because of a bad credit rating.
Wife #2 says her husband is there to provide, even though they eat spaghetti out of a can, on toast, 3/4 times a week for dinner.
