With the majority of 'middle class' families depending on the cost of child care in the area and how many children they have it would be a really smart move for the spouse that makes less money to stay home. Both from the monetary view and from the view of having a child raise by their parents.
Which is why, in my previous marriage, I stayed home and raised our kid. (And supervised the household slaves )

But a hundred years ago I wouldn't have had that choice, because even the most basic job I could get would have been better paid, simply by being "men's work", than one she could have got, with all her abilities. Sexism does oppress men as well as women.
