Was Paul on to something?

I have been asked as a pastor many times, "Do you think that mothers should stay at home with their children, especially when they are young?" What about Titus 2:3-5 that talks about teaching young women to be "working at home"? Mary Eberstadt has written a book that I have started reading that shows the negative side of day care centers and of family-child separations that occur every day in America. Also the case against day-care receives some support from a rather surprising source. I recognize there may be some exceptions that necessitate a mother working outside the home, but I believe these are few and far between. Weigh the evidence and have a biblical reason for your position.
