I agree with Olivia. You often see women become clinically depressed if they give up work to look after their family. People are often prone to depression and other mental conditions when they retire, or if they are long-term unemployed.
I know people who retired or had an old-fashioned husband, and they took a low paid factory or admin job just because they hated being stuck at home!

I am told that you can become very lonely and isolated if you are at home all day. In addition, society defines you by your occupation: if you have no occupation you can begin to feel worthless
