Default Re: "stay at home" and "stay home"?

Quote:
-->My brother was told to stay home last night, but he went to the movies.
-->My brother should have stayed at home last night.
In the second sentence, you can delete the at and the sentence will mean the same thing. Both are used. BTW, a "stay at home" is somebody who doesn't like to go out much.
