Which one is better -To be a stay at home mom or a working mom?

Everyones situation is different and everyones preferences are different...I have been both and enjoyed both..I enjoyed going out to work for the adult company and conversations and to keep my brain active, but then I am staying at home at the moment and I am loving it.

I still think the children need their mother near them, especially when they are still young. So I would say to be stay at home mom is the best. That's why at this time, I'm not a working woman. I'm staying at home to watch my kids grow and will be there every time they need me. But it doesn't mean that we can not make money from home. There are so many ways to make money from home without leaving our kids.

Are there any moms who stay home and don't work? Maybe if they have nannies and maids and cooks and chauffeurs. Just because we don't get paychecks when our number one job is taking care of our kids doesn't mean we aren't working. I'm glad I had the chance to make taking care of my kids a full-time job when they were little. I think it did them some good. I don't recall spending much time at home when they needed to be taken to classes and I needed to go grocery shopping and we all needed to go so many other places, though.

Well i am currently a stay at home mum. my son is only 22 months old.. I do get borred sometimes though. My son has a disability called downs syndrome and i have to take him to physio once every two weeks, and hospital appointments for check-ups every 3-6 months. But apart from that i am free. So i have just joined a gym to fill my day. So i do all the cleaning ect. And i am the only one with a car and licence so i do the shopping as well. Personaly i think that if i wan't a stay at home mum the house would never be as clean.

Honestly a stay at home mom is best. Kids need their moms at home to watch and take care of them and their needs. I remember growing up as a kid, and when my mom worked I felt alone and got into alot of trouble. As soon as she quit her job due to my father starting his own business and being sucessful with it, she started staying home and I can honestly say that's the reason why I turned out 100% atleast I hope :0) A mom being there with here children is an asset in her kids mental development

Wow, talk about a topic that could potentially get explosive! LOL In all seriousness, though, I think it is totally a personal choice. For me and my family, it is better for me to be a stay at home mom. My husband and I actually switched roles for a year and that was interesting, too. The kids definately experienced different things than when I was home with them! I like for one of us to be home because I feel that there is so little time with the children to begin with. I like being home to walk my oldest daughter home from school. That is time that we've had some of our best discussions. I like that I have made it my "job" to help with homework, reading, and all the other aspects of growing up. If I worked outside the home I am not sure I would have the same amount of focus and energy that I am able to put into those things now. Even as the children grow I hope to be able to stay at home so I am there when they leave for school and return at the end of the day.

It all depends on the financial position of your home, if others are earning enough,then you should stay at home becoz what u are doing by staying at home can't be got done by any other paid employee, taking care of children, husband, their needs, i think these things are best done when you do it yourself.
