Every time someone makes a comment about stay-at-home mums or working mums, others pounce to start a debate on what kind of mums are superior. One group talks about how being for the child is more important and the other group argues how women can and need to have it all. We at www.beingtheparent.com believe that working or not working is a personal choice and it is best not to judge one group or the other. That said, we also understand that there are advantages and disadvantages to both the choices. One of the biggest problem of this constant and never ending debate is that neither of the groups find it easy to come forward with problems they face, lest anyone thinks they made the wrong choice.
