    Homemaking mothers were happier than those working full time - PARTICULARLY those who left higher quality employment for childcare https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10902-018-9958-2 …pic.twitter.com/FiNV1y0qFv

        Good point. This shifts the dichotomy from employment vs. happiness to happiness vs. dependency - financial independence costs happiness, but might still be worth it.

        Also wondering if the paper concludes that people who aren't happy at work would happier if they weren't, in fact, at work?

        There are always outliers, but I think most women would prefer to be homemakers -- if they weren't radically isolated as they are nowadays. We need to restore the extended family and culturally homogeneous neighborhoods so homemakers have adults around them during the day.

        Seems to have more to do with splitting priorities - more difficult to do either to the best of ability, with too little time/rest.

        Hi Lisa! Are you making a halfhearted case against marriage and homemaking or an excellent case against frivolous divorce? Or maybe a bit of both? It's not an obvious question.

        They control for “household income”, which makes me wonder: hhincome could be a confounder (rich hubby->stay at home mum) but also a mediator (employed mum->higher income->higher satisfaction).

        Possible. Are there any long-term longitudinal data?
