Not working? Caring for the home, children, shopping (yeah, you take a kid or 2 with you while you run all your errands and grocery shot), etc. is not working?
It's working more and harder than alot of middle management desk jockeys.

That's ridiculous. Nobody forced her not to work. Plenty of women work and have kids, my mother did it, for example. That's why maternity leave exists.
The choice not to work is a CHOICE some women make as adults, which is fine, but nobody else is responsible for the choices she makes
It's not right that she chooses to stay home and not work, bangs the pool boy, and then gets paid for all her years of not working
Who else can you name that is compensated because of lost economic opportunity because they decided to leave the workforce?
Because all stay at home moms take care of the house.
And taking kids shopping if the kid is well behaved is pretty much no big thing at all. If the kids parents aren't complete slugs their kid should be well behaved enough to not be a complete disaster in the store. If the mother is however struggling with her kid in the store all the time then chances are she isn't worth much as a mom anyways.
Did you or did you not see the "joint decision" part of my statement?
And the husband is just as likely banging someone at work - not that it really matters one way or the other.
What's the going rate for a nanny where you live?
I could hire a maid for 100 bucks here in Texas to deep clean my entire house, and I can pay a babysitter 10 bucks an hour to watch the kids

Yeah it does matter
And sorry, choosing not to have a job is acceptable -there is nothing wrong with being a housewife- but it is a CHOICE.
We're responsible for our own choices in this world.

No, it's actually less likely by a pretty good bit. Anyway, how do you prove he had a hand to play in the decision? It's not like she needs him to agree nor is it likely there is anything to prove he agreed to anything.
Many - even most - do. Cut the family income in half, add another mouth to feed, and you really can't afford to pay for housekeepers.
It's completely unobvious to me. As I said it was a decision my wife and I jointly made. Maybe we're different that way but I hardly think do.
Plenty of families handle all of those concerns after work or on the weekends. It's not like the house is going to get all that dirty when no one is there all day or the laundry takes ten hours to wash.
What does that have to do it? Even as you indicate, maids and babysitters are paid for their labor.
How would she prove that you agreed to her staying at home?
And when a couple has an unwritten, good faith contract that both adhere to until there is a divorce? One works outside the home, one inside. Is that unwritten contract meaningless? To you perhaps. And since it isnt enforceable under the law, the law created alimony.

No, people who saw women as poor, helpless, frail little things that can't take care of themselves invented alimony. It harkens from the days when a woman would live at home with daddy until she married, then her husband would take care of her. Nobody expected a woman could take care of herself.
The concept is outdated and needs to go. Women can be self reliant in 2015 and that should be the expectation, not the exception

100 bucks a week for maid service and 10 bucks an hour for a baby sitter.
That's (100 * 52) + (10 * 2000) = $25,200 per year (assuming you are full employed for the standard 2080 work year but that you don't need a babysitter for 2 weeks of vacation.
Over 25 grand and you haven't paid for any expenses like food, clothing, residence, utilities, etc.

So if her mean ole husband divorced her (because women never initiated divorce) then clearly she deserves some money so the poor little thing wouldn't starve

You can think that, we can see you believe it. Cool. Yet myself and others have written more factual reasons that the law was actually based on. It does adhere somewhat to your reasons, which you wrote in a deliberately and obviously misogynistic manner. Yes, we can all see what you believe.
And it has been scaled back a great deal these days to reflect the greater independence and opportunities for women.
I love how it's always, "what if the man cheats or the man divorces her" ignoring completely that more women cheat and more women file for divorce. lol. I bet I shouldn't mention how many stay at home moms cheat. lol.
