Pro:
more time to pursue extra curricular and hobbies that you’re actually interested in
House can be thoroughly cleaned more often
Should be no issue with home cooked meals for every lunch and dinner
If children are involved more time to spend raising them instead of relying on family/childcare
More availability to get involved with their school and extra curricular activities
Don’t have to work
Depending on the person; could be the most desirable and fulfilling job in the world
Cons:
Unless marrying wealthy (a small percentage of men) will be living in a lower socioeconomic group than if both were working
Less money means fewer options for children’s education, holidays, orthodontics and other medical nice to haves
Have to be self motivated to actually clean the house and provide meals daily
If the husband chooses to leave or dies unexpectedly she is left with nothing (no employable skills, outdated education, no job experience and life insurance runs out quickly)
Very little to do once children are in school
Studies show childcare in children under 5 have a discernible difference in socialisation, cognitive and language development helping prepare them for structured learning when they’re school age
Depending on the person; it could be boring and unfulfilling

Pros: Be with my love of my life and kids if we have any.

The rest of the life things my husband and i will be a team to keep building into our commitment of our life together.
Thats what i think, no one needs to agree with me.
I’ve done the Stay At Home Mom thing.

You don't have to work, it is awesome. I have played the house-husband role before and it is pure luxury compared to having to do actual hard work for 8 hours a day.
