Is it better to be a stay-at-home mom or a career woman?

In our country, It sounds nice but the choice is the really that easy to make?Iam 25 yrs.old married woman with 2 kids...but I wasn't able to just drop everything and be a full time mother to them..We have the belief that women who stay at home are better mothers is definitely in the cultural bloodstream....Feminism aside, men are still expected to bring home the bacon, and women are supposed to raise the children. Some are lucky, and are able to do both...It's not easy, I admit that after I gave birth to my second child I resumed and to continue to work. One of the main reasons was I have to help my husband to support our childrens' needs but it wasn't just that, I never saw myself as a stay-home-mom, I was happy with my kids but being naturally ambitous I wanted a career as well.

Hi every womens needs are different some feel like they want to be with their babies 24/7,some feel like your self they want to continue their careers.But needs must,probaly stay at home mums maybe know their babies better but dosn't mean they can be better mums.
