I would like to add my two cents- I think it is really important for a stay at home parent to work at home to keep their sense of self strong and intact. I have seen stay at home parent's struggle with their own identity and crave adult conversation. That is why I am proud that I am in a position to help parents earn extra income that involves their children with a fun home based business.
