COLUMBIA – Some women say being a stay-at-home mom is rewarding, but soon the state might reward them for taking care of their kids.

A bill moving through the House would give stay-at-home moms $600 per year, every year they care for children under the age of 16 at home, hoping to invest in getting them back into the workforce once those children are grown.

But some say that’s leaving out a growing number of dads who say they make just as good caretakers for their children.
