Trad wife movement vs working wives

If  I passed away there isn't a much I could do?  If I was a surviving spouse, I would pray!

But what if it were YOU who had passed away leaving behind your wife and three children while they were still young (say pre-teens)?

Yes, prayer is good. No one in this thread is questioning that. Several of us are confused about your posts that make irrelevant points about the topic of wives having careers.

The question is "If stay at home mom has a husband who dies should she get a job to support herself and her children?"

yes

And what could she do to make that easier should she find herself as a widow with young children? Is that something that women should be considering when choosing how to be at home?

 

(I am posting on the assumption that there are things between being a full trad wife making homemade cereal every morning and being a career-driven mom who is barely at home).

foster care with relatives was done in the past.

In your opinion, my thoughts about this subject are beyond your understanding. They are, however, relevant ( in my humble opinion,)

you on the other hand,,  be slightly naïve about this subject, no offense
