People are judged for being single parents, struggling to help their children, but actually being a single parent can be a good thing. Children who have both parents working most of the time feel neglected and lonely, which could lead to depression, bad behavior and rebellion later in life. One of my family's longtime friends had the exact same problem. The family was in excellent financial condition because both parents worked. They had high-level jobs working as doctors in the same hospital, but never really found time for their children. The parents constantly worked away from home and now the family is very dysfunctional. Children who are now adults never visit or talk to their parents. Prove that money isn't everything and that a stay-at-home mom is not just a repressive stereotype, she is a beneficial tool for your children's happiness and happiness.
