Stay-At-Home Moms Vs Working Moms

There is always a battle over who has it the hardest: stay-at-home moms or working moms.  Well, obviously both types of mothers have to work very hard, that's for sure!  So who's lifestyle is the easiest of the two?  That's hard to say, because I wouldn't say that either one is easier than the other.    

Let's start with working moms.  They have it pretty hard and get less time with their children.  Especially single moms who are working full time to support their family.  It's surely no easy task and it can be highly stressful for her.  Of course, there are pros and cons to being a working mother, just as everything has ups and downs.  Working mothers do bring home a regular pay check usually, and therefore may have a little extra spending money.  This may not be so for single mothers or mothers who are the only ones working in the house.  Often times, working mothers will have to pay for daycare for their children unless they are already in elementary school.  As many of us know, daycar is far from cheap these days.  Unfortunately, working mothers may not get to spend as much time with their children and/or spouses as they would like.  This is not always the case, but it is rather common.  Some mothers would prefer to work than stay at home with their children, while others don't have a choice and have to work to survive.  To be a working mother is surely a tough task.  Once you have been at work all day, you have to come home and clean, cook, do laundry, and everything else!  Unless you have a maid or some kind of helping hand, you have to get the work done.  Working moms deserve much applause for their effort and energy to be able to perform their jobs everyday.
