خلفية ثقافية
The 'Stay-at-home mom' (SAHM) is a very common cultural label. There is often a lot of public debate about the economic and social value of this role. British people are more likely to say 'stay at home' or 'stay in.' 'Stay home' is often perceived as an Americanism, though it is becoming more common. The concept of 'Hygge' (coziness) makes staying home a highly valued social activity, often involving candles, friends, and comfort food. The phrase became a symbol of solidarity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the hashtag #StayHome was a way to show you were doing your part for public health.
American vs British
If you want to sound more American, drop the 'at'. If you want to sound more British, keep it.
No 'to'!
Never say 'stay to home'. It is the most common mistake for beginners.
