You're kinda right bro. Especially that women are emotional people by nature. I've never thought of whether I will allow my wife work or not if I become a rich man today but you cannot criticize those who decide not to allow their wives work outside when they believe they have all they need to live a life. Like what's the essence. Rather the wife should just remain at home. Eat, drink and sleep, while also taking care of their child or family.
I would have love to allow my wife work, like setting up her own business for her so she can trade and also make her contacts. As a lady, she also needs to network and build her business if I have the funds. Turning my wife to a full housewife might affect her productivity and mental health since her level of exposure to the world could be daunted with. But when you look at it from another perspective, leaving her to take care of the children isn't a bad idea but the best will remain that she needs to be engaged in a business that may not necessarily take all her time.
