Stay At Home Moms Who Turned Millionaires and How To Be A Successful Stay At Home Mom

There is a famous saying –”Behind every successful man there is a woman.” Broadly this says a lot about the love and support a woman can lend to the man to make him climb the ladder of success in his career. If a woman can act as that pillar why can’t she use the same determination and turn around the patriarchy and be the superwoman who can handle everything?

Sadly, many families still have male dominance, and thus the man is responsible for going to work and earn the livelihood whereas the woman stays at home or even balances her work and home and looks after everything from kids to cleaning, cooking to laundry, from carpooling to running errands.

Women, in general, have always been multi-talented and intelligent to make any situation favorable for her. Sometimes, women are even better than men. In this digital era with many options available at the doorsteps, most stay-at-home-moms turn to venture into a business that is supporting their schedule to support the kids as well as earn some extra money.

In addition to that child’s behavior is improved when at least one of the parent stays at home.

Studies report that stress levels in children rose when at daycare and decreased in the evenings while spending time at home. 

Another study published by the Standford Business Graduate School, found that, staying at home can be beneficial for children even after the early years.

An extensive data report from Norway observed potential benefits for older children when their parents had more opportunity to stay at home.
