Do you agree or disagree: it was God's original plan for women to remain home and care for it?

it's a purely biological situation. In traditional societies, men, who are physically stronger, provide for the family by hunting and long hours of farming. Women become pregnant and feed babies, so it is practical for them to do lighter tasks and remain near the home base, watching children, and doing hearth and home oriented jobs. She teaches the small children until they are old enough to join in support of the family. In modern society, this paradigm does not apply nearly so much, although it does to some extent. God didn't make it a hard and fast rule. It's just a reality. Remember that the nuclear family (man, woman, and children) did not exist until relatively recently. Families were widely extended, with multi-generations and shared jobs. In Bible times, they would have been puzzled to think of a woman who stayed home alone with children.
