The best option for the children involved is to be cared for in the home by a parent (ideally their mother). I think that, where financially practical, families should revert to single-income and care for their own children. Children grow up very quickly and I suspect many who entrust their care to strangers, when not a financial necessity, may regret that choice down the road.Just curious as to people opinions on one partner working or not working (instead of getting child minder or creche etc).
There are 'mother and toddler' everywhere which are good for getting to know who lives around and about. Also, once your child goes to school you'll know everybody.I agree with Thrifty about the isolation of staying at home. I don't know what your neighbourhood is like but in many housing estates they are very quiet during the day as everyone is at work.
you wait 4 or 5 years to know everybody?once your child goes to school you'll know everybody
she's 15 months and has been on 3 lots of antibiotics as has my friend's child who's 2 and also in creche.
The NorthDrum's, it would seem, unlike yourself, have the option; hence the question. Single parents have it tough.if i would stay at home, relying on state benefits only - i wouldn't be able to survive, so i have no choice but to work!
I don't think that's true.in regards to the creches themselves - as many advantages there are staying full time home with your wee one - as many are with creches. . any doctor will happily confirm that creche children are much healthier and more immune than the ones staying at home
Eh, when you were on maternity leave was she not just a couple of weeks/months oldmy daughter wouldnt even look at other people when we were still home (on maternity leave), let alone play with other kids, communicate with others etc.
You have stated you have no option. Some who do have the option tell themselves that the child is better off in a crèche so they can feel a bit better about handing their kids off for the day.since she is in creche - she is social, open minded and she is doing so many things, i wouldn't find the time to do with her, if i am home.
if you count up maternity leave you will find that the time you can spend at home goes beyond "weeks"Eh, when you were on maternity leave was she not just a couple of weeks/months old.
i don'tyou have stated you have no option.
you're not serious are you?so they can feel a bit better about handing their kids off for the day.

some mothers have to from economic necessity send their children to creche but it is out of necessity, i think its a bit much when people come on and start spouting rubbish about creches being "good for kids". i would suggest YOU the mother is good for kids (not jane bloggs in the local creche)

total generalisation. my wife didnt develop low self esteem, nor did my mother and my child is very well advanced socially thank you very much. he attends a multitude of classes (gymnastics etc) and plays (both in sport in the park and in the likes of playzone etc) with other children in our area or friends children.
just because my son isnt being reared by strangers in a creche does not mean he has a lower immune system than a child abandoned in a creche every day. do you think hes kept in the house like an infant recluse!!?
in relation to the careers, why bother having children if you cant wait to abandon them at some creche door to total strangers, because of your "career"
so called parents can extol the virtues of creche til they are blue in the face, it sounds like guilt to me. but heh whatever you have to do to console yourself. maybe your childs mammy in the creche can fill you in on what they did today.
