Based on what you've described you are working now, and you have worked in the past.  It does not matter what you do.  You have a job, both of you are working.  You have a real job as a translator.  Do not see what the point is. Keep doing what you're doing.

I was trained to be some kind of business executive. Took all kinds of math and science courses. Heck, I almost had enough college credits from AP courses in High School to be a 2nd semester Freshman when I started college. After I was in college a while, I decided my life would be better if I enjoyed myself instead of stressed myself out to get A's. And I hated going to class at 8am. I still was willing to work hard and, after graduating college, had good paying jobs. But that never was super important to me, so when we had kids, I had no problem staying home.

I thought my parents would have a real problem with it since they encouraged me to do well in school, get a good job, etc. but they never once said a negative thing about it. They have been nothing but supportive because, to my surprise, they believed I was doing the right thing for my family. I was especially surprised by my dad who grew up dirt poor and worked extremely hard to make sure we were well provided for. He often proudly tells people that I am an at-home dad and never asks me when I'm going to start making some dough.
