That's great for people who truly have a desire to be stay at home parents. But then there are those people who actually want to get out and have a career and not stay at home. It depends entirely on what you want. Also some families have to have both parents working and then they are just managing even without all those little luxuries. My sister-in-law is a stay at home mom and she loves it but I have to be honest I could never be a stay at home mom.
