Would you stay home?

I would definitely stay home with the kids and have a stay-in job but if I can't then i'll make sure my workplace has a day-care.It's too risky to leave your kids with a stranger at home now.anything can happen.

I do stay home with my kids. My husband works out of town during the week and my kids needs a parent here. It's also my way of guaranteeing that my kids will not be abused or neglected if I was to hire the wrong babysitter.

Well of course I would have! I had to work, I was a single mom. And I have missed out on alot! If I would have been able to stay at home, I would have been more happy in sharing there everyday experiences. Know they are 23 and 21 years old. The years went by to fast. Take care.

I will stay at home and make my home an office to work. I mean, home based internet money making business. It is my dream to start. Not only me, my wife also will be there with me as a staff (not a stuff !). I would love to see those days in life. Hope to have them soon.

yes i would and do. i've worked since i was 15 years old (33 now). after my 1st daughter was born i started missing all her firsts, i couldn't afford daycare, i could barely pay my bills due to rising gas prices, i spent more time at work then i did with my family. i quit my job of 12 years in january shortly after i found out that i was pregnant again. i refuse to miss out on their lives anymore. i refuse to pay a sitter to raise my kids while i bust my butt at a job i hate. i could hardly pay my bills with us both working 40 hours a week. since i have stopped working our spending has been cut down and yes, we need state assistance, but, I'M raising my girls the way we feel they need to be raised and i'm not missing out on anything. i love being a stay at home mom and my bills are being paid. if we ever fall behind i will go back to work but probably part-time and only if i HAVE to.

It is important to have at least one parent taking care of there children.

I am a stay at home mother and I would like to work again some day into the future. Maybe part time. I would also like to earn a degree and go to college. Right now I feel it is best to be at home with my five year old son. You are right. A lot of families have two parents who are working. It isn't easy to make a living these days for the house costs and the like. But I do like the idea of being home and sharing my time with my son. I think that it is very important to a child in the earlier years.

I am home part-time with my son. I work part-time outside of the home. While I am at work, my son stays with my mom. If I could stay home full-time with him, I would, but we need the money right now to live on. Sometimes I feel very guilty that I leave him to go to work. There are some mornings where he begs me to stay home and play. There is nothing I would rather do than stay with him. If I ever have the opportunity to stay home with him full-time while he is still young, I will do it in a heartbeat.

Yas I prefer to stay at home on weekend only .
