For the same meaning, I also found people use 'to stay at home'. For example: "'Mommy Wars': To Work or Stay at Home" - http://i.abcnews.com/GMA/AmericanFamily/story?id=1648502&amp;page=1 'To stay at home' is also used to show a decision to live at home instead of elsewhere, as in: "VITAL SIGN: AGING; Fighting Frailty to Stay at Home" - http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D04E0D81F3DF931A15753C1A9649C8B63http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htm#469994Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:49:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:469994Grammar Geek2http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htm#469994http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-469994.xmlAll the in-the-workforce moms I know would love to be stay-at-homes. Although you're very rarely late to a meeting at work because someone couldn't find his shoe.http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htm#469987Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:49:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:469987Delmobile3http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htm#469987http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-469987.xmlNo you don't either, Barb, everybody knows all we do is eat bonbons all day; therefore, we are not valued by society. I have heard "stay at home" without the hyphens or the mom. What are you up to this weekend? Oh, I'm so worn out, I think I just want to stay at home and veg out. ( veg or veg out - not sure of spelling! - pronounced "vedge" - short for vegetate, means to do as little as possible)http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htm#469966Sat, 24 Jan 2009 06:49:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:469966Grammar Geek4http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htm#469966http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-469966.xmlA phrase you hear a lot is "stay-at-home mom" meaning a full-time mom who doesn't work in an office.

Is there any difference between "stay home" and "stay at home"? I know both are OK, but if there is a slight difference, will you tell me? Thank you. home is an adverb so you say stay home. I dont think you can say 'stay at home.' You need a possessive noun right in front of 'home.' For instance, stay at her home.http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htmSat, 24 Jan 2009 06:49:38 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:469950Kenta6http://www.englishforums.com/English/StayHomeStayAtHome/zklcc/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-469950.xmlHello.
