But my idea of raising kids (if I wanted to) is much different. If I wanted to do everything right (that is, right for me, not that it's the only right way), I would stay at home full time or possibly work a little bit each week. My kids would be homeschooled by me which is much harder to do if you aren't there. When your kids grow up and go to school from 8-3 daily, then I'm not sure there is a point to being home. For now I think it's best (jmho) to be home with baby as much as possible. Also jmho, I don't like daycares or babysitters for the most part (aside from a little bit of time each day or whatever) because I'd prefer to not send my kiddos away for somebody else to raise. |
That's what my mom said about daycare. Why pay to have someone else raise your kids? My mom feels a sense of accomplishment with us, and gets compliments on her "smart" children. She's proud. I do think she missed out on coming into her own, but I think her dad not allowing her even a basic education. So I enrolled her in literacy school this year! I hope it helps her gain a sense of independence.
