Re: Question for conservatives re: role of women
[ QUOTE ]
... Personally, I want my wive to make our kids breakfast in the morning and pick them up from school at 3pm, at least while they are still young. I don't want them raised by a maid. Naturally, this schedule will probably preclude most careers. I imagine that volunteer work is mostly what she might be able to do between 8am and 3pm. I plan on hiring a maid to do the housework, it's the raising our kids thing I want done ourselves.

It's really strange that you would use the word "ourselves" when in the context, it's your future wife who will be doing the actual childcare.
Why are you ignoring the possibility of flex time work schedules and shared childcare? I'm sure you can find a smart woman would would be willing to care for your children in the AM if you took over in the PM.
Instead of:
Husband works 8-5 outside the home, no work inside home
Wife works 6-8am inside, 8-3 volunteer work, 3-10pm inside home
Maid picks up husband's slack
Try:
Husband works 8-1pm ouside home, 1-8 inside home
Wife works 6am-1pm inside home, 1-6 ouside home
Shared evening childcare and housework or maid picks up slack from both spouses.
