Some people, including myself, are in the opinion that it is something of a
'pure-blood' tradition or part of their culture to have the woman stay at
home and not be forced to work. Perhaps the traditional thought is that the
husband should be able to support his wife, as it was in many places
throughout the world for a long time.

Now me:

I have a hard time swallowing this, simply because I have always been 
impressed by the lack of sexism in the wizard world of Harry Potter.

Yes, but it should be noted that just because a child is not directly in her
care does not mean that she and Arthur don't have to support them. Money
needs to be sent to children incase they need any sort of replenishing of
supplies, anything for special occasions (such as things for school balls,
sports, ect.), and books at the beginning of the year.

Me again:

I know they still have to support them, but my point is, she is not needed 
to stay at home and physically take care of the kids at home. She has plenty 
of time to go out and get a job and help pay for school, books, sports, etc.
