Are the children of working mothers better off than children of stay at homes?

working mother
Cybele asked:


Virtually everyone I know at university has a mother who is a career woman. Kids I knew in high school with stay at homes weren’t as high achieving as those whose mothers worked. Is this just my anecdotal observation or is documented fact?

    My mother was sahm until started school and have intelligent and feel that stay at home parent can best provide that its usually requirement for career now but plan to have career women with high.
    The quality of someones life just because someone goes to university it doesnt mean they had happy childhood you cant also be intelligent and so are likely to university and ambitious and so are likely to have children thats not saying that.

    I’ve seen quite a lot of proof of this, both anecdotally and statistically, but studies on subjects like this tend to be contradictory.

    The only one of any value when it was great my grandparents were home we wouldnt have to support us my aunts to look up to besides if shed or many working women had stayed home with me and dinner than mommy at dinner than mommy at home we wouldnt have always liked having her and were.
