Do people respect working moms more than stay home moms?

Honestly, the focus should be on how a mother spends her time with a child, be it a working mother or a stay at home mother. I've seen good and bad cases in both instances. There are working mothers who have amazing bonds with their kids cause they make that effort to spend every free time with their child, bonding with their child and building their connection. Same goes for stay at home mothers .... then there are some mothers who work and spend their weekends and evenings on the phone with their friends, neglecting their kids, and i've seen some stay at home mothers do the same thing ....

The focus should be on quality time. Quantity means nothing without quality.
