They might cook something as fancy as spaghetti, or a casserole, or a stir-fry with rice for everyone to share, but you can absolutely rest assured that the vegetables will be frozen and minimal, if at all.
I'm thinking of the mums who can afford to stay home.
They have their houses cleaned for them, so they have coffee out with friends, go to yoga and spend all afternoon soaking beans and buying tofu.

It probably is a different definition.
Think Gwyneth Paltrow-style, without all the millions.

I am not really mocking them. I'm insanely jealous.
Apart from the children bit.
