I see an interesting dichotomy that places many women in a cath-22 situation here. On the one hand, those women who are mochel the support written in the kesuba and instead do whatever is necessary to allow their husbands to stay in the beis medrash and grow in torah, all day, are lauded. On the other hand, when those same women who assume the income responsibility and go out and take a job that doesn not allow them to be home, they are told they should be home with their children, and as seen here, even take flak from some people. Realistically speaking, how many half decent paying jobs exist that allow a woman to support her family AND be home with her children, at least most of the time.
