Mothers who stay at home benefit society as a whole. The money that they save on childcare can be spent in other areas such as pensions, healthcare, or environmental issues.
Stay at home mothers are more likely to have time to be involved with their community. Volunteers are needed in many spheres of education such as PTAs (Parent-Teacher Associations), classroom assistants or organisers of school trips and sharing skills(News Talk Radio) 1. However there are many other areas where they can make a difference as they have the time, such as volunteering for charities or community groups and looking after other parents’ children. Those mothers who stay home are able to become more fully involved in these aspects of community life in the process making the community a much better place to bring up children.
