It isn't an easy decision to choose between daycare vs. a stay at home mom lifestyle. Both have benefits and disadvantages, and each side should be studied and considered closely before deciding.
Here is a comparison of using daycare vs. being a stay at home mom or dad to help you decide.
| Daycare | Stay at home mom |
| It is easier to pursue your career and feel more connected to the work world, and you won't sacrifice career goals | You will get more quality time with your children, and can still pursue work from home mom opportunities |
| You will bring in more money with a regular paycheck | You will earn no money or possibly less money working from home, but you will spend far less (on daycare costs especially) |
| You get more time around adults and a chance to pursue adult activities | You get more time with your children |
| Your child will get more socializing in a daycare setting | You will have time during the day for child classes and play dates with other moms |
