Being a Stay-at-Home Parent Is a Luxury … for Your Spouse

5. Even without children

Even without children, I think having one person stay at home and run the household makes life better. It's easier to avoid processed foods when someone has time to cook from scratch, to give just one of many possible examples. Obviously, it's not right for every couple or family, but a full-time homemaker should get full credit & respect for the ways they make the household run more smoothly. Doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman doing it -- when I was a kid, my dad had a friend who operated a small business out of his home and did all the housework and child care while his wife went to work, and that worked for them.
