Actually, a good number of the Real Housewives do have careers and full time jobs. Yes, they're also socialites and rich, so they spend a lot of time dressing up and going to parties, too, but the majority of them are not actually just housewives.
If I had the option of not working, I would take it, or work part-time at something I loved, if money was no issue (or volunteer, or nanny, or something). Since I have bills to pay, I'll stick with the drudge of the 9-5 (which, for now, I am okay with, I like my job/company now).
I'm not sure inadequate is fair - depending on this imaginary husband's job and its demands, maintaining the home and chores and cooking, etc could be a full-time job in itself. And some people are happy doing that! I could use a stay at home wife to do all that for me :)
