Tricky question. I already own a mini van so I could be a stay at home soccer mom, however, I am social so I would need to work too.
Katie says:
Well ive done both and they both have up and dwn sides stay at home means u can see them grow and not miss anything but also means you never get anytime away from them or your own independance.
