Maybe it's time to trow in a little conversation here....
Now don't get me wrong ,no good words for the woman involved but for everybody questioning why this is happening.....Simple!!!....
Don't leave your children with some stranger!!!
Being a father i have noticed that nowadays everybody just dumps their child at some day care center and of to work they go....Pick it up at the end
of the day ,have dinner and put them to bed.
That's not how you raise a child!! That's how other people are raising your child for you while you are busy chasing a career....it's something
different all together!!!
I know, i know, mommy and daddy have to work to make ends meet but WTH. Why did mommy and daddy not think about this before they had children??
When my wife and i deceided to have children we both looked at our options because we both felt it as extremly important that one of the parents would
be availible at all times. This ment that my wife had to sidetrack her career and we would not be able to buy that big house we had our eyes on for a
while BUT when making decissions you are always gonna leave certain options out....
I would like to know from each and every member on ATS above 40 how their time at the day care centre was when they were young......???
I believe that here in Holland we didn't even have such a concept as "day care centre". Nowadays these things a poppin up like mushrooms all over
the place. Heck ,i believe you have to enlist your child even before it is born or else no place will be availible when you wanna place 'm
their...
This is insane!!!....
My children (3 of them, all boys, aged 1, 3 and 6) went to "peuter speelzaal" which freely translated means as much as "toddler playroom" but
that's only on monday and thursday for 3 hours and that is to develope social skills etc.. but their is no way that people ,who put their 3 month old
5 days a week ,8 hours a day in some room with a stanger, should be surprised something will happen to this child which would not have happened if you
took care of it yourself.......
Now let the flaming begin and burn me to the ground with your retoric about how you have to work in modern day society in order to keep your head
above water.....
Peace
