A stay-at-home parent is a parent who remains home whether to tend to the home/family care or focus on remote work. This may be a nuclear family or a single-parent household.

Responsibilities
The main responsibilities of the parent that stays home are to prepare meals, tend to household needs, family/child care, grocery shopping, etc. Parents may also focus on remote work which allows them to complete their assigned work tasks in the presence of their own home.

Statistics
There has been a rise in stay-at-home parents after the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of things we normally do in person because virtual or by telephone pushing parents to not come into the office. Childcare becoming less affordable has also pushed parents to stay home.

Benefits
This includes


 * Affordable child care
 * Flexibility

 * Fewer Behavior Problems

Culture and Beliefs
There are approximately 100 countries that don't allow mothers to work. There are four countries found to not allow women in general to receive an education. Therefore forcing them to tend to the home, their husband and kids, cooking and cleaning.

In the Hispanic immigrant culture, it is believed that staying at home with children is better.

Early 1900's
Stay-at-home parents stem from SAHM or Stay-At-home mom. In the US during the 1800s and early 1900s, women were not allowed to work. Forcing their husbands to then work and provide for their families while they were home caring for the children/teaching them, cleaning the house, prepare for meals. This cycle on repeat until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which allows women to work.
