It's funny, because that's the same view I take with having my wife stay home... Between the time she spends with the kids and the less time we otherwise have to spend doing 'housework', it's a way for her (and by extension, all of us) to spend more time together.
It's entirely up to her, but the only reason I would
want her to work after all of the kids are in school is if she's bored out of her mind and wants something to do, whether for fulfillment, or simply to occupy her time. But it certainly won't be because I think she's a "parasite"...
To me, the more baffling thing is not wanting to provide that option to the person you love because of some tally of chores you're keeping, like a score.
