We know she didn't have a job outside the home because women in those days didn't. Her house was always a pig sty, as mozarts father pointed out. And she hired a cleaning lady. clearly, she was no homemaker. What did she do? Sit and twiddle her thumbs all day?

One of the "minor" historical omissions of many in this movie. Constanze was almost continuously pregnant during her marriage to Mozart. She was quite physically exhausted by this, and there were no funds to hire help. She had six children in nine years.

nine children in six years ?
man! Mozart must have been a f@#~king machine (literal adjective).
I mean he must have f"$ed her even while pregnant, hence hurting the fetus' brain with his penis while doing the old "in-out"
