M, of course. That’s why mothers are called the Akeres Habayis. Traditionally the mother would be home all day, putting the kids on the bus, there for them when they came off the bus, cook and feed them their meals and obviously be with the children longer than her husband who is working all day.
That’s a feature of family life, not a bug.
(I don’t think we’re disagreeing, I’m just nitpicking with some of your descriptive verbiage.)
