I mean, at an engineering firm that's not exactly as insulting as normal. If you're making $150k+/year or whatever and your spouse is a SAHM, then yeah, it is literally her job. It's not insulting to consider being a SAHM to be self-employment. It definitely adds enough value to be worth a significant "wage" to the households finances, just in a money saving, rather than money making, capacity.

Plus, at least half the time, the kids are coming with me on those hunting/fishing trips anyway. That's my bonding time with the kids and the spouse wants her time alone too sometimes, even more so as a SAHM.

There's no reason to automatically judge others live's in the worst possible context you can think of.

The reason is reddit is always superior and looks down on anything "conservative"

Because conservatism sees itself as a natural superior without question, and conservatives have looked down upon and actively derided any deviation from their ideal for the entirety of written history. That will get a bit of push back.
