It's a risky thing. You just cannot know. I was one of those. I am one of those. I have yet to find a job with a 25 year gap in the resume. Even with my degree, I make 15 an hour. 4 kids now leaving the roost and yet, even when they were home I couldn't get help. Because they had too much money in their accounts...because they were all going to college and working their asses off. I couldn't get help also because I was in school, trying to finish my schooling. No one cares when it matters most and there is no advocacy for single moms. Some of us get lucky enough to find space in someone else's house while we try to recover. But we give up everything when we stay at home, as much as I loved those years. I don't regret it because I have memories with my children that are priceless and I got to live my farmhouse dream for a while. Better than nothing I guess. But now, it is all memories with nothing to stand on...no security. My state has no alimony. And I got no spousal support. And with only one child getting 100 a week for child support, we had to give up our home. Tradwife life is not recommended. But assess the risks and do what you feel is right for you. Best wishes!!!
