well ROBIn if a grand parent has the time and energy to care for the child or children thats fine, but nowadays manyparents takei t for granted that their child's gr parent will look after the child full time.

I Personally feel thats okay but not full time. children are hard work when you get older.

I realise very well that often there is no choice for couples.

Is seems to be the norm to send a young baby to child care. My feeling about that is: that there is no point in having a child if always someone else brings the child/ren up.

I have seen some of these programmes that follow families who work and the stress it gives having to take the child to nursery at unearthly hours. It is not an easy life for the parents-- and do they ever really know their child.?

Yes I am old fashioned-- its my age I guess and growing up without family or love at all.

I was determined that when I had children that I would be there for them-- they still took part in local clubs etc but I felt responsible for the way they behaved.


Many children today are in CARE. Unloved and nobody really wants them. Thats horrid.

I really want children born to have their own family and to have security and love.

for me bringing a child into the world is a great responsibility.


Of course I know that its often Hobson choice. No alternative to child care.

I am not stupid-- I know the practicalitities.

.

really this started because of someone saying that she expected the man to look after the child-- so that she could carry on her own career.


anyway to each his/her own.
