Who should take care of the kids??

mothers...others they need yaya. But it is a responsibility of a certain mother for their own child..

I don't think there's any one right answer. It all depends on the individual situation. When it comes to my daughter, there's not many people I trust. I'm lucky that my husband makes enough to allow me to stay home with her. On the rare occasion, I can't watch her, he watches her if he's not working. If he is working, I trust only my sister-in-law or my best friend to babysit. Even with people I trust, I rarely ask for them to babysit. My daughter is almost 16 months old and has only been babysat a handful of times. I do work occasionally, but it's babysitting other kids and my daughter is still with me. If I do decide to take a job where I have to be away from her, it will be on the night shift. That way my husband will be with her while I'm gone. It will be difficult for me, I'm sure, but there's no way I will put her in the daycares around here. I've heard too many bad things about them.

I think it is soley the responsiblity of the parents to watch over their children. Having said that, that is not always practical, as many families need two incomes. I do think it is sad however, when parents pawn their own children off on their parents, knowing that they will take responsibility. Grandparents shouldn't be used, but treasured. For us, we made a lot of adjustments and sacrifices so I could stay home with our children, soon enough they will be off to school, and I can return to work then. Sure, we don't have the nicest house on the block, or the most expensive car, but we're happy, our children are learning and know that they are more important than any career or money. Like I said, some don't have a choice, but those whom do, should choose wisely, as they are only young for so long, and time passes so quickly, that it's really not worth wasting that time at the office.

I believe the mother should be taking care of the kids.But I am pretty much a nanny to 2 children.There mother works from 12am to 9pm.I have them every weekday from when they get out of school until 9 in the evening.I am starting to believe the nanny knows best.I also have then every other weekend as there father has them also everyother weekend.She never sees them.

Family is all that takes care of my kids right now. I have had too many problems with daycare and babysitters lately. My mother is usually the one who has my kids when I do not.

each situation is different. i tried nannies before because i was employed. however, i had many bad experiences with them and the worst was that my child was being physically abused whenever i was at work. the grandparents were more than willing to take care of my kids at first but later on, they realized that they were too old and they got tired easily. so, my husband and i agreed that it would be best if i resigned from my job. while it has been difficult for my husband to be the sole breadwinner for our family, the closeness and openness that i share with my kids can never be equalled by any amount of money. since i talk to my kids everyday and since i've always encouraged them to always tell me what happened to them at school or anywhere else they've been, i know what goes on in their lives on a day to day basis. my children know that i am there for them, figuratively and literally. not many kids have that.

Who should care for the children? Each situation is different when you stop to think about it. Some families need to incomes to survive so both parents have to work. Some feel that they can trust a daycare, maybe their friend is the owner or something. While there are some families that are lucky enough to have a grandparent that is able to provide child care for their children. There are even some cases where the father is the better parent to remain home with the children. There really is no easy solution for each and every family. What works for one family might not work for another. Its a personally choice that the parents need to make as a team.

Me and my husband take care our son alone. Without nanny, because we don't trust them. Of course i also would like to work outside the house. I work when my husband at home. I work part time only in zomer season and winter season, from 18.00 until 21.00 o'clock. The grandparents can not take care of my son, because they are already old and sick.

I believe it all depends on the situation, in my family I am the one taking care of the children. But I also work, but on hours when the children are in bed. Where I live it is very normal when both parents work and the child goes to a daycare
