Why Are Women Leaving The Workforce?

A video recently went viral of a girl sarcastically discussing the struggle of a career woman in 2023. In fact, many women are not returning to work after the pandemic. What is really going on?

When I first saw one of your videos I was liberal, and thought everything you said was terribly offensive. But eventually I realized that what you were saying had more truth in it than I had been led to believe. So thank you, because you have seriously changed the way I look at the world.

It’s called the double income trap. Women fought to go to work and now we can’t afford to go home!

Running a household isn’t stress free. It’s rewarding. It’s not stress free. I have been called brainwashed and oppressed and had women who don’t know me or my husband, straight up tell me that my husband was going cheat on me simply because I don’t work outside my home. My husband is a wonderful man and provider. He appreciates me and appreciates coming home knowing that I have the household covered. We’re partners and I have said for years now that those women were jealous and would trade places with me in a heartbeat.

I really resonated with this video.
I'm 24 and married my husband last year. He really wanted to have kids straight, but I wanted to wait because I was entry level in my career. Within this last hear I got a big promotion which put me pretty high on the corporate latter. I'm also the youngest person to have this position in my company. While I extremely happy and proud of this achievement it didn't give me the feeling I was expecting. I just kind of felt like something was missing and it didn't give any more meaning to my life. I realized than what I really wanted was to be a mom and now I'm 3 months pregnant 😁. The reality is that I'm probably going to quit this job once I have the baby. I don't want the world to raise my child- I want to.

I'm just glad that I came to that realization now (when I can have the joy of being a young mom) instead of spending my twenties and thirties grinding away at a company.

I'm a teacher, husband and father of 3. Adjusting our life from 2 incomes to 1 so my wife could stay home was extremely difficult, but it was the best decision in hindsight. We now live in a 960 square foot house, drive 10 year old cars, and my wife has never been happier. She loves homeschooling our 3 children, raising them in a Christian household and growing our own food in our garden.

As a millennial woman, I struggled so much in school when people would ask me "What do you want to be when you grow up?". It was like the most important thing: pick a career, go to college, make lots of money, etc. I NEVER knew the answer to the question. I was always so confused why so many people had these grand dreams of being a doctor or a teacher or whatever and I just didn't. As a young girl, I spent all my time playing house, playing barbies with Barbie having babies, playing with dolls. I loved the idea of being a mom, but saying "I want to be a Mom when I grow up" was looked down upon... so I never said it. Instead I just became depressed because I didn't feel passionate about any careers and that made me feel like a failure. Mid-20s I met my husband, and by 30 I had two beautiful daughters and it was like everything made sense. I LOVE being a mom. It is everything to me. If me and my husband could afford it, I would 100% be a stay at home mom and home school my girls, but that's just not in the books for me. But Atleast I know now... I understand why I never wanted to be "anything" when I grew up, because all along, I just wanted to be a mom but I was taught that "just being a mom" wasn't enough.

Being older, and having lived both paradigms, I can tell you that the ‘stay at home’ Mom did more than cook, clean and raise the kids. She also had a large garden, a lot of which she preserved, she did the yard work (and not with a riding mower and snow blower), she handled the budget, even making a lot of the items her family wore. And since she was ‘home all day’ she could do a lot of the things we now pay others to do for us.

My wife has stayed home on and off over several years. After covid was over, I finally said screw it, she’s staying home. I don’t care if the electric gets turned off, no tv, no cell, it doesn’t matter. It’s more important to me that she’s not killing herself, working 5-7 days a week, just so we can continue to struggle anyway. She’s a stay at home mom now, and we’re not looking back. She’s never been happier.

The two income household becoming the default way of life is one of the worst things that ever happened to our society

As a stay at home mom and homemaker, I get annoyed with women like this. The way they glorify the life of a woman who works in the home (or as they put it "women who don't work") really shows just how little they actually know about what it takes to properly maintain a household and raise children. It's not easy. It's extremely rewarding for sure, but it's absolutely exhausting.

I’ve never been a feminist, because it was feminists that always belittled and berated me for wanting to be a wife and stay at home mom. I married a man that supported my desire to be a stay at home mom. We make some sacrifices for me to stay home with our kids, but also add fun things to make it work like growing a lot of our own food in the warm months. My husband has gifted me with getting to stay home with our kids and I gift him with home cooked meals, cleaning, and managing the house.

A situation to consider: my husband is physically unable to help me with housework. A combination of a chronic condition and a series of injuries as severely limited his mobility. Kinda hard to clean when you can barely stand for more than five minutes. He helps where he can and constantly apologizes for not doing more, but I can see how hard it is for him to do much of anything. I would love nothing more than to quit my job and take care of him and our home, unfortunately that's just not possible right now and it kills me.

My wife has been a stay at home mom for almost 10 years. It's been a struggle, but we refuse to let this world raise our kids.

I worked successfully in my career from age 20-31 before becoming a Mom. I could not leave my baby. I totally disappointed my boss by never coming back to work. So thankful for my hard working husband for holding it down so I could be a SAHM, chef, maid, errand runner for my family.

[moldyvoldy]

Im a first time mom whos already dreading having to leave my baby to go back to work. It's unnatural. I cant wait for the day I get to stay home. I truly find absolute fulfillment and joy in being a homemaker. Its so hard to keep up with it when you also have a full-time job.

[macrosformommy]

This is a hard subject. Working as a mom is great in many ways, but never seeing my children is absolutely heartbreaking. Every day many of us try to think of ways to simplify and be able to spend more quality time with those we love. As moms, we’re not angry at the patriarchy, we’re depressed that we can’t be the mom we so desperately want to be. Who did this is irrelevant now, what matters is trying to find solutions to this issue. It’s easy to judge and make fun of women who don’t want to work, but I empathize. Being torn from your family is not a laughing matter. It’s actually contributing to the further degradation of our society when public schools and care givers raise our kids instead of their mothers. Heartbreaking indeed…

As a young man I would like to say being a stay at home mom is no joke..my mom has been working tirelessly for years..she is always doing something 24/7 and when my sisters moved out it only got worse not to mention she's getting older, for now all I can do is help her around the house but I'll make sure my mama sees days with nothing but luxury and leisure..Thanks mama and dedicated mothers across the world❤

I am a man in the IT field, and there is a lot of similar hypocrisy for us as well.

Many people in my field criticize others for being single and/or childless, claiming that it is "not real success" unless you have a family in addition to the well-paying job.

Then, those same people actively gripe to others about how unhappy they are at home, and they work 70+ hours a week to intentionally hide from their wives/kids...

[ashleyt.]

You know what makes me feel like a girl boss? Running my house the way I want, raising my kids the way I want. It's an exhausting but incredibly rewarding job. I'm thankful to be able to stay home and homeschool the kids while my husband works.

One thing Brett said that stood out to me was 'folding his laundry, helping out when your partner is busy'…what's wrong with that? NOTHING! Absolutely nothing. If you want to be helpful, be helpful. Lead by example if your partner is slacking. I believed the lie that he can do it all and so can I. None of us can. We all need help sometimes, so when you have the extra energy why not help the person or people you love?
