The problem is no matter how much the traditionalists yearn to be back in those times, it's too late.
Technology has made a person who stays to take care of the home redundant unless you live in a mansion and the cultural shift thanks to the left makes the traditional reason of raising a big family less relevant.
It's just a new grift and that's it.
The few that CAN do this will be the rare exceptions, but on the whole, too many things both culturally, legally and technologically mean this role is the same as having an onlythot live with you, just hopefully with a much lower body count.
My cousin gets up early and works four 12-hour days, is gone for like 15 hours because of the drive. While gone, his wife takes care of all the animals (feed them, get eggs, milk goats), cooks for the homeschooled kids, helps teach the kids, cleans the house, sometimes will patch a fence or whatever, maybe take the kids to Jujitsu practice, and then makes sure my cousin has a good meal when he finally gets home.
All that to say that I agree with you: my cousin and his family are a very rare situation. Not many people are in the sticks on a lot of land with animals and young children. Dude doesn't go on vacation with the whole family, him or the wife always stays behind to watch the animals because, in his words, "do you know how hard it is to find someone to milk the goats if we are gone?"
