What is better a stay at home mom or a working mom?

Question

Has any one here been raised by a working mother, was dad in the pic. and how sucsessful are you now?

Answer 1

Most definitely 'stay at home' mom...

Answer 2

I was raised by a working mom. My dad was in the picture. My parents are married. My dad worked also. I am 25 now with a B.A. and M.A. in psychology currently working on my doctorate. I do not think there is anything wrong with having a working mother. I do not think I would have liked it if my mother was a stay at home mom. If I ever have kids I will not stay at home; I will work.

Answer 3

My mother worked full time when i was young, and i have a fabulous relationship with her, i also learned how to interact with others better as i went to nursery from a very early age. However, through personal choice, i stayed at home until my child reached school age, i felt those first 5 years were the most crucial ones. I dont think there's a right or wrong answer here; so id go with your instincts, because whether you work or stay at home, the very best mum is one who is happy with her life. Best of luck

Answer 4

I'm a stay at home dad. I believe that if possible having a stay at home parent is the best. I know that is not always possible.

I had a stay at home mom growing up. Though she couldnt work, not that she didn't want to

I have many good friends that were raised by working parents and are doing very well.

It really depends on each sittuation.

Answer 5

Stay-home mom creates stronger bonds with her children. Unfortunately nowadays reality for many moms is not as fortunate. Many of us have to send our husbands to hell for mean reasons from their part, or never had a husband to start with, and are forced to go to work in order to support and raise our kids. Sometimes the income of the husband is not enough and the wife has to go to work too. I'm the only income at home. I do it happily because it's all for my child. But at the same time I'm missing her growth, the things she comes up with, her worries... Is not easy to carry both roles at once: mom-and-dad all in one. And sometimes I feel like I can't take it anymore. So, if you're a mom, and you're fortunate enough to stay home with the kids, then blessed be.

Answer 6

I think staying at home with the kids for at least the first few years, is awesome !!! who else better than ur self to raise and watch over the little ones ?! im so greatful my husband agreed to let him work only ! but i will be going to school and working and i hope to be succesful, what u can do is alternate the time u work with him so he can watch the kids while u work and vice versa, good luck

Answer 7

My mom wasn't all that great (in other words, she wasn't a "cool" mom and always annoying me) so i say that a working mom is better. She didn't use to work, but now she does and for some reason, i always dread her coming home so early. Most times, i do like her staying at home, but hate it when she doesn't stay out of my business. It creates a better relationship for my mom and i (according to me)

Answer 8

when i get married i would like my wife to stay at home, not cause i don't like a woman to work or anything. but it is simply cuz i care about her, i wouldn;t want her to go through the troble of work, so i can bring every thing to here on a golden platter . bit if she in sists on working i won;t mind. (it is funny i am listening to when u really love a women brain adams:p)
whe n there are kidz involved i say both parents must be involved not only one parent. if the dslary of one working parent is not enough to pay the bills why not both parents work inorder to help each other to help their family.
in m y opinion ther is no better or worse between a stay home mom or working mom, but the diffrence is how are both parents involved in their chilrens lives.

Answer 9

I'm a stay at home mom and I'm happy to be there for my children whenever they need me. I think it's very important for children that there's always someone there for them.
Raising children is a very big responsibility and children need to know that they are loved and respected for who they are so that they can develop themselves into responsible respectful and friendly individuals who shine their bright light into the world.
However I do not wish to say that parents who both work or single mothers with children who have jobs don't love their children and do not teach them love and respect. I'm very happy to be able to take care for my children but I also have to say that I have a son who needs extra care because he's autistic and my youngest daughter has severe allergies that ask for a lot of extra work to keep her as healthy as possible. So they both need extra help and care and I also have my other children to think of.
My husband and I are now going to put up our own business that we can work out from out of our home so that I will always be there for the children when they come home from school and at the same time when they are in school we will be able to work from out of our home and we will both be there for the children because we both like to invest as much time as possible into our children because they mean the world to us.

Answer 10

i was raised by a working mother....she was divorced from my father and i also had a working step father....my brother and i were at a babysitters and it was horrible...i am a stay at home mom and would never put my children in day care!! You never "really" know who is watching your kids...and I want to raise my children, don't want someone else doing it...

Answer 11

I am a working Mom and I would rather be home with my children. I just feel our bond is not as strong as it should be. My children are 3 and 6 and I feel they are going to do fine, I am the one who is really hurt.
