Oops. The short response is stirring up quite a few passionate responses.
To respond, I would say I highly support equality of sexes. I would take charge of 100% of home matters if I were a SAHD. Man... I wish I could be a SAHD. I already do all the cooking and washing up afterwards already.
If the family has decided on having a single income source then it isn’t wise to load more onto that single income source.
You do know that in Singapore, you have to fight and justify why a local with family commitments should be considered for a position over others that have no such commitments. The rat race here is intense. So if I were a SAHD and my wife is the sole breadwinner, leaving her to be mentally and physically able to focus fully on her work is going to be a top priority.
My more complete two cents.
Everyone is free to disagree but I highly encourage everyone to consider the reality that getting retrenched at 40+ and face agism is happening all around now. What happens then

Doesn't sound right at all. But really not easy to change ones mindset.
If you dont like the arrangement, you should discuss with your husband.
