A "stay at home" mom is one that doesn't have to work outside the home.
She would be there to raise her children......
Kate has said she doesn't want a nanny......but does have a housekeeper.
She wants to be a hands on mom........more power to her.
Having had a working mom from age 5 and up, I always wanted to be at home to raise my family......and was fortunate enough to be able to do it.
They actually both wrote me personal letters when they were mid way through university, thanking me for being there........they had an ideal childhood with lots of friends over all the time.........the friends love to come to our place.........
I do understand now why my mom had to go back to work, however I didn't enjoy being a latch key kid........having to stay inside until my dad came home from work as my mom often had to work overtime........
Each person finds their own path.......whatever works for them.....
When they were still in early elementary school, my husband added on a studio at home.......and he was also a "stay at home dad" while working all day. He was there if they needed him. I was also there when I began my at home business when they were in early high school......so we were both available to our kids............the best of both worlds.
One good thing about Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, etc.
They allow "at home businesses" as long as you don't have people coming to your door and parking in your driveway, etc.........unless you are rural, then anything goes.
So, lots of "at home parents". In our lovely residential neighborhood, next door to us was an artist. He also worked at home and his wife was a stay at home mom.......mostly all of our neighborhood had moms who stayed home to raise their children. They all turned out GREAT.
THANK GOD.
