Macmillan English Dictionary

lady of leisure

a woman who does not have to work, especially because her husband earns a lot of money

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Ladies of leisure may or may not have children..entirely their choice


The extreme wealth of the husband allows for all the help necessary ..again by choice

The word "leisure" does not mean that she reclines all day long , eating bon bons..it just means that she is AT leisure from the stresses of figuring out how long that package of bologna will last, or that the washer is broken AGAIN..or that they cannot afford to take a sick kid to the doctor.. or that the electric bill is $160, and the checkbook balance is $95 & payday's a week off... stuff like that.

Ladies of leisure have the opportunity to CHOOSE whether to be a hands-on Mom or one who supervises, but delegates care. Ann Romney won the husband lotto.

I'd be willing to bet money that most of the women pictured below would love to be able to CHOOSE to be a stay-ay-home Mom too..but they probably did not choose a rich man (or have a rich man choose them). I doubt that many (any?) of them chose to wake up a sleeping baby or a sick toddler so they could serve food to strangers or wait on cranky people, and then turn over a large portion of their paycheck to people who watch their kids. These women still have the stay-at-home-Mom chores to do when their paid-jobs are done for the day. They are NOT ladies of leisure.
