I will look at both. On the one hand, there are several advantages when women are stay-at-home
mothers
.
First,
children
greatly benefit from spending
time
with their
mothers
and
this
makes a sense of motherhood between
children
and their
mothers
.
For example
, my mother regularly took us to

thus
parents could use that money to buy what their

mothers

On the other hand

although
parents and
children
can benefit when
mothers

mothers
in particular
when they have to shoulder
such
