It is said that the poorer the family, the more stay-at-home mothers there are. Is that so?
I think this statement has some basis. The main source of livelihood in the family is the husband, and the wife is responsible for taking care of the children, because they have no extra salary to hire a nanny. But now, almost no matter poor families or rich families, many wives stay at home as full-time mothers. One reason is that there is no one to take care of the children, so there is really no choice but to be a full-time mother by myself. For this reason, the group of stay-at-home mothers is the largest, which is a last resort. Nowadays, the cost of raising a baby is high, and the economic pressure of ordinary families is great. If someone at home helps to look after the baby, in fact, many mothers also want to work to earn money. On the one hand, they can give their babies better material conditions, on the other hand, having a job can make them feel safe.

But the reality is not so perfect, and every family has its own problems. Some families have elderly people, but they have jobs and have not retired. Older people with many children have to help other children with their children, or both elderly people are in poor health, but they are unable to help. These are the reasons for urging my mother to be a full-time mother at home.

Another important reason is that parents attach great importance to their children's early education, especially the parents of many wealthy families. Many mothers think that the first three years of their children are the crucial period for the formation of their personality and habits. They choose to be full-time mothers because they love their children and attach importance to raising them, and because they can afford it at home. For this reason, although the proportion of stay-at-home mothers is not high at present, this trend is gradually increasing and there will be more in the future. Therefore, it is not that the poorer the family, the more full-time mothers there are, but that in this era when the education of children must be started from an early age, there will only be more and more full-time mothers, which is also a major manifestation of maternal love.
