More and more women chose to work rather than being stay-at-home mothers. However, besides the benefits they might get, there are certainly some downsides. Firstly, working moms are more stressed as they are responsible for not only working tasks but also household chores. Secondly, they are likely to miss out on the lives with their kids. Being a working mom means that a woman may not witness their children’s important milestone of life. Hence, it’s necessary for them to think carefully before deciding to be a working mom.

Advantages of being a working mother

Mothers should be greatly encouraged to work outside the home.

First, working mothers contribute to household income.

1. b. They help their husbands pay household expenses and satisfy their children's growing needs. Life is getting more and more expensive, so women's salaries are becoming important to their household budgets.

Second, working mothers are good educators for their children.

2. c. Experiences at work widen their knowledge and gradually mature them. Through working they discover their strengths and weaknesses, become more knowledgeable and can find good ways to educate their children.

Finally, working mothers set good examples for their children.

3. a. When children see how their parents work hard to support the families and share domestic responsibilities they will learn from them. Such family values as hard work, responsibilities and love are likely to pass down from generation to generation.

Clearly, mothers should be strongly supported to work outside the home.
