Lol!! I just want scripture for it so my husband will quit thinking I am crazy!! If it is in the scripture he usually changes his mind. I know I can look it all up I just thought this maybe quicker!

Titus 2:3-5

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

I don't know about that, but women never not worked. Women ALWAYS worked. They went out to the wells to get the water for crops. They gathered grain and they baked and cooked meals

ISBE
Among the Hebrews, woman administered the affairs of the home with a liberty and leadership unknown to other oriental peoples. Her domestic duties were more independent, varied and honorable. She was not the slave or menial of her husband. Her outdoor occupations were congenial, healthful, extensive. She often tended the flocks (Gen_29:6; Exo_2:16); spun the wool, and made the clothing of the family (Exo_35:26; Pro_31:19; 1Sa_2:19); contributed by her weaving and needlework to its income and support (Pro_31:14, Pro_31:24), and to charity (Act_9:39). Women ground the grain (Mat_24:41); prepared the meals (Gen_18:6; 2Sa_13:8; Joh_12:2); invited and received guests (Jdg_4:18; 1Sa_25:18 ff; 2Ki_4:8-10); drew water for household use (1Sa_9:11; Joh_4:7), for guests and even for their camels (Gen_24:15-20). Hebrew women enjoyed a freedom that corresponds favorably with the larger liberties granted them in the Christian era.

That was all part of keeping the home....!!!
