Working Moms Vs. Stay At Home Moms (Which is Better?)

It's a question that's always asked...Are working moms better than stay at home moms? Do the children of working moms go without love and attention? Do the children of stay at home moms end up coddled and spoiled?

It's a decision that almost all moms have to make. So which is better?

Well here are the pros and cons of each....

Working Moms

Pros:
 - Being able to financially support your family
 - More free time to yourself
 - Independence

Cons:
 -Time spent with your children is limited.
 - Often your children will be left in someone else's care.
 - Your children may act out in hopes of getting your attention
 - Children are left to their own devices

Stay At Home Moms

Pros:
 -Able to spend lots of time raising your children
 -Not having to pay for nanny/daycare expenses
 -Being present for your child's milestones
 -Able to maintain your household

Cons:
 -Having to rely on a second source for income
 -Not having a lot of free time
 -More stress is placed on you

When people ask me which is better I always tell them that neither one is better than the other. I say this, because I have had the pleasure of being both a working mom and a stay at home mom and I have found that both have difficulties. I really do believe that as mothers and wives we have to do what is best for our families.

A hard truth is that the majority of the population has to return to work after birth due to financial issues and that choice is what benefits their family. Now if you are fortunate enough to afford to be a stay at home mom, then by all means do that... No matter what your decision is I strongly feel that a woman shouldn't be shamed for it. It is your choice and yours only...

Keep your head up and keep taking care of your family! :)
