My mum worked full time as well as having four kids. We all pitched in with the housework and as a result I have three brothers who can all cook, clean, iron and sew a button on - surely that's a good thing?
I can't see the justification, but it's not really for anyone else to judge. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If someone has enough money to support staying at home and their husband is in agreement, it's not really anyone's business. It'd be lovely to have more time for hobbies.

My hubby swears he learned his housekeeping skills at scouts, so my daughter will have to go there .
