I'm fortunate enough to have a good enough job that my wife didn't need to work while taking care of our children. That said, after a while, she got restless and sought out WFH opportunities. It turns out, spending all day with a screaming child is stressful, and being able to switch gears and feel productive is helpful.
We don't know this woman's situation, whether she needs to work to pay the bills, or chooses to work because taking care of a child full time is a different kind of stressful. At the end of the day, it should be the woman's choice if she works.
