Stay-at-home parenting has fluctuated in American families in the recent years; many families do not have enough money to send their children to daycare or expensive babysitters, but they can't afford to stay at home and be supported by only 1 income. These days, there are less stay-at-home parents than earlier years. Additionally, stay-at-home parenting is not automatically 'woman's work' anymore, as many fathers have begun to take on the role of stay-at-home parent.
