Do you stay at home with the children or go to work? I have no problem with the two.

I am a stay at home mom.... I didn't think that staying at home with my kids would make such a huge difference but... it has. My kids are well manered, they behave better than most other kids, and they don't talk back. I know many people will argue that it doesn't matter if you stay home or not. But, I have found that staying home with my kids has taught them many lessons they could not learn by going to daycare everyday. I have struggled finacialy at times to stay home because I feel that kids need a strong home life and I can provide moral lessons, and indeed strengthen their lives by showing them that when I made a choice to have my 3 kids I also made the choice to raise them. All three of my children are Polite, they eat their vegies first, and they are straight A students. I am proud to stay at home and ensure that no matter what else I do in life My three beautiful children grew up in a stable loving home enviorment.

I currently stay home with my 2-year-old daughter with another baby on the way. I also take college classes in the evenings (or online when I can). It's been wonderful being home with my little girl and I am so fortunate to be able to do so. I worked until she was 7 months old and realized it was not where I needed to be at this time in my life. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it works for us.

I stay home with my 2 children. The first age 4 years and the second age 4 months. I absolutely love it and I have no plans of going back to work until both are in school.

I am a stay at home Mom.
We have 5 children, with another on the way. We home-school the 4 oldest (13, 11, 9, 7) so I consider that to be working as well. I put in as many (actually more since I teach 4 different grade levels) hours than when I taught school professionally.
I actually believe that most stay at home Moms have very full time jobs. Why is it considered a full time job to babysit someone else's children, or teach someone else's children, but when they are your own children it suddenly becomes NOT a full time job?
Don't get me wrong, I am NOT blasting working Moms. I realize that staying home is not an option for many women, I just think that it is time stay at home Moms are given due respect.
We need to encourage and support each other in raising the next generation whether we are "stay at home Moms" or "wanting to be at home Moms" or "happily working Moms"!
humbly submitted ( hoping not to offend).

I am a stay at home dad. Kind of.
I go to college full time, while my wife stays home. Then she goes to work (27 hours per week) while I stay home. So, I stay at home and do homework while she brings in the bacon.
Our son is almost 10 months old.
(actually, I make about 40K during the summer, when I do work. My wife works just to keep her benefits at the bank).

I stay home with this child. I worked with my other two. I like staying home, but I hate doing housework. I would also love to get out and socialize without the baby sometimes.

I stayed at home for a full year with my first child and by the end I was going crazy. Not only was I caring for a child 24 hours a day I also had to take care of a full grown man who thought that it was ok to go to work for 8 hours then come home and do nothing for the rest of the night. I was lonely bored and frustrated, but I loved the time that I got to spend with my daughter. I just had my second and for financial reasons I will be returning to work after six weeks. I am sorry that I will miss that extra time with her, but at the same time I am glad that I will be returning to work.

I stay home during the week, and every other weekend I work a live in job at a group home while my kids stay either with their step dad or grandma
