Stay-at-home or working mom?

Celina (US)

Being a stay-at-home mom isn't always easy, but it is worth it! I wouldn't trade staying at home with my kids for anything in the world. Being there with my children means they are getting the exact love and care I want them to have. We do not have a lot of money, but we've sacrificed to make it possible. The benefit for our children and our family, for us, outweighs any sacrifice.

Ashley Mellone is like many parents who try to juggle a career and find daycare for their children. She and her husband found that it was cheaper for her to become a stay-at-home mom and care for their children, than to pay for daycare. She is seen with her sons four-year-old Luke, left, and Orion, 15 months.[Photo/IC]
