Q. You have been a stay-at-home mother for several years.

She is a stay-at-home mother and the voice of reason.

But another reason that more families don't include a stay-at-home mother is because it's simply too expensive.

Like many stay-at-home mothers, these fathers often go back to work after some time at home.

Groups of stay-at-home mothers are especially active, with nearly 34,000 members.

Last year, almost 10.6 million children were at home with their stay-at-home mothers, up 13 percent from 10 years ago.

When she finally quit to become a stay-at-home mother, reality hit hard.

Yet that does not mean every stay-at-home mother is unhappy.

She is a stay-at-home mother and does not seem to have any outside job.

She was a stay-at-home mother who did not drink or do drugs, he said.
