Have you been asked by well meaning ladies (even Christian), “what do you do all day”? The side eyed looks, and shaking of the head as if you’ve done a horrible sin is truly disrespectful to your freedom to choose what’s best for your own life and family. No where in the bible is it condemned or forbidden for a woman to not work outside her home. Throughout scripture you see the opposite yet many try to pull the old Proverbs 31 woman card (and any other scripture to justify their thinking) to make you think otherwise. Many have taken scriptures out of context to come up with unbiblical thinking on this issue. It’s really sad how we as homemakers are questioned and judged (instead of respected and encouraged) for our choice to make being a keeper at home our fulltime career. We’ve all heard the “what ifs” and all the exceptions but we have our convictions and we live this life by faith. Listen to the wisdom in this young lady. She’s wise beyond her years.
Here is another one that encourages even those of us who do not or no longer are raising young children:
Content Being Home 
In my environment most mothers are working moms but I have never heard any negative comment regarding my being at home. One neighbor even encouraged me not to go back to work because she did so and regrets it.
Most people see that I care for my kids, that I bake bread and help with school projects. They know that I don’t sit on the sofa all day long. I wonder what they would say if my kids were grown and I would still stay at home.
On the other hand I feel absolutely discriminated and offended by politicians. They don’t want moms like me.

You’re fortunate enough to not have to be bombarded with the questioning of your being home. Here in the U.S. it’s more common to get questions and negative comments rather than encouraged. Even when you tell them what you do all day you may hear “I can’t do that” or “I would go crazy being at home all day”, etc. Most of us stay at home wives and moms have to connect with other like minded women online or through groups to get that kind of encouragement.
