While raising a family and keeping house can be highly rewarding, for many women it is not enough to satisfy their needs and desires. For some, work provides a source of fulfilment, a sense of purpose and freedom from boredom or frustration that comes with solely domestic responsibilities. Additionally, economic security is important for families to maintain a certain standard of living; depending on the country, this may require both parents to work in order to afford necessities or make ends meet.

Women may find satisfaction in both staying home and raising a family and working. Women have different goals, preferences and strengths that enable them to thrive regardless of the choice they make. Working can provide women with an independent identity, greater job fulfillment and financial stability for their families while also giving them opportunities to further their education or pursue a career they're passionate about. Staying home gives women the opportunity to be more involved in their children's lives and develop relationships with other parents in their communities while contributing by managing the household chores as required; it offers variety, creativity and control which might suit certain women better than traditional 9-5 jobs. Ultimately, any lifestyle decision should prioritize individual wellness (emotional, mental, physical), personal fulfillment AND what is best for one’s family unit. Everybody is different!
