What is your vision on both parents working ?
Do you think that one of the parents should stay at home for the kid ?
I think it good for the kid that one of the parents is at home to take care of him/her and to be at home if your son or daughter is coming home from school !
But is it financial to do ? With me it is difficult but we are trying to do it.
Of course now it is still more easy because my daughter is just 2,5 months old.
And is there any one how got handy tips ???

i personally think that one of the parent should stay at home until the kid finishes the middle school because it is very important to shape the child's future at the young age itself

I think if both parents work and they enjoy it, thats wonderful! Just make sure when you get home your children come first. But i'm pretty old fashioned, I stay home and will soon be a mother. I make sure everything is done when my husband gets home. When we have our child I will continue to stay home. It will save money because we wont have to worry about eating out, daycare, babysitters, etc. As long as you don't mind staying home and not working, I think it is a wonderful idea.

I believe that if one parent can stay home and your family is still financially stable then that would be great. 
Another idea that is not so bad is for one of the parents to find a stay at home job, that away the children always have at least one parent. But sometimes that is not available because of how poor this world is today.
I rather my kids be at home with family then out with a sitter. I feel that family may know your child a little bit more and tent to take better care of your children.*depending on how your parents are* There are nothing wrong with sitters but I know from my own experience that the children rather stay at home then in someone elses house all day long*again depending on their parents*
