Stay-at-home parents are unsung heroes with unseen contributions. They're the ones who wake up before sunrise to make breakfast, get the kids ready for school, and then tackle the never-ending list of chores.

It’s easy to forget how much stay-at-home parents really contribute to a family’s financial stability and overall quality of life. But what is the true value of a stay-at-home parent?

●  Work-life balance - Stay-at-home parents enable the working spouse to prioritize their career, potentially leading to career growth and higher income. By taking care of household responsibilities, stay-at-home parents reduce stress for the working spouse, allowing them to focus on their career goals.

●  Household management - Stay-at-home parents' efficient household management leads to cost savings, contributing to family financial stability. They manage tasks such as meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Stay-at-home parents also coordinate appointments and activities for the entire family.

●  Childcare savings - Stay-at-home parents save on childcare costs, emphasizing their economic value due to pricey childcare services. The average cost of childcare in the Philippines is 6,000 to 15,000 per month and doesn’t include extra expenses incurred by opting for childcare. By staying at home to care for their children, stay-at-home parents save their families a lot of money each year.

All parents do their best but it’s important to highlight that stay-at-home parents’ play a crucial role in the family unit. Their contributions to work-life balance, household management, childcare savings, and child development are invaluable. Of course, their contributions don’t end there.
