Stay at home because children love to be with their parents. If both cannot stay at home at least one of them should stay for their sake. Child care centres are a lousy substitute for parental love. I have seen children insist that their mother stay at home.
I think this should be answered by children and not by parents.

It is not about wanting.. the best is ask your wife's opinion..whatever is the best she can do to her family and herself as long as she is happy and content taking care of the house , and support her wish. She can stay at home and please everyone but she might not be happy as well or she can work and takes care of the family both.. it differs on every woman so it is unfair to decide what you want without asking her opinion..
As wife is the helper of the husband, she also deserve to be treated respect in every decision in the house.
Money can't buy everything. I don't think having enough money or plenty is the most reason why other women stays at home to take care of the house and kids. and having less makes the women work and get outs of the house..there is a reason for everything.
For someone who does not know...Being a housewife is a full time job...
God bless...

If I made enough money for us to live comfortably I would like to have my wife stay home and take care of the household things, but I would not try to force her to do so.
When my wife and I first got married we decided that she would stay home and raise kids until our last child started school. After that she would go to work. The first 10 years were pretty tough financially but our kids turned out really well and now we both make a pretty good living.

Only if we had agreed to this prior to marriage. The responsibilities of the home are shared equally. Unless you are stuck in the 50's. I know as a husband who makes $60,000+, it would be easy for me to expect this, however, if I didn't pre-subscribe this thought to my wife, too bad for me. I help out with everything! I also found out that if the time comes that she would leave me, I could handle everything! The kids, the homework, the scheduling, the busy work, everything. That's a big stress reliever! Is it difficult? You bet! But worth it! Don't think you can just jump into her shoes either! This is a rough job!

WORK! There's no reason for her just to sit around and do nothing all day. What's there to take care of? There are on campus care centers at every large corporation I've ever worked at. What's there to take care of at home? The dishes? That's what dishwashers are for.
If we are both working, it's just that much more money we can have to pay bills, stay out of debt, invest, have for the children's education etc...

If my wife could match or exceed what I can make then I would swap jobs in an instant. Its pure economics. I like having one parent home with the kids until they start school.

I stayed home for 7yrs with my last husband, until our youngest was in kindergarten. It wasn't easy, but I"m glad I did it.
Now, tho, if I made enough money, I would want my MAN to stay home and he is all for it!!

I'd be happy giving HER the choice to decide, and let her know that I'd support either decision 110%.
