max, if what you say is true regarding where a woman’s best job is (I happen to believe it is at home, also), then why are the frum young men all going to learn and sending their wives out to earn (some with little babies already)? Your remark about them never joining the workforce is inaccurate. Today’s frum wives almost ALL are in the workforce, if not to support the family (which is the usualy case) then to help afford the exhorbitant costs of yeshivah tuition. Don’t bother to respond about cutting out luxuries, my husband and I drive a 20 year old car that we are nursing along, and have not been able to afford a vaction in almost 30 years, because the money is always going for Yeshivah, for car repairs, for braces and other medical expenses, for household emergencies, and yes, B”H for modest simchas, as well. I am not complaining, but I am explaining.
