Do you think childcare provider can take care as the same way as the mother?

I do not think so. A mother is a mother. Apart from love and affection, she has got the motherly feeling which will be missing in the childcare provider. A mother is concerned about the child and is possessive about her child and his health. Where as we can not expect all these things in the childcare who will take money and do their duty. it is like the difference between we are doing our house hold work by ourselves very clean and the maid doing the work for money.

as a mother of a four year old, i absolutely feel that nobody can substitute the role of 'mother'. i really care her more than myself, and i cannot imagine any other one could be as caring and as sensitive as me to my own daughter.

For me no other best care than a mother of the child because she knows what the best for there children and have more patient to take care more.

I agree with you completely that day care providers will never take care of the baby as emotionally as can be done by the mother. It is a fact that mothers are full of love, care , patience and emotions with the child. Mother is the only one who bears all the tantrums of the child. whenever the child cries, he is immediately sent to the mother by other family members. Mothers can scold a child but her love for her children is very deep. The emotional demands of the child will never be fulfilled by the Day care provider.

I agree with you. Though caretaker or even grandparents can take care of the child. The mother is always the most important deciding factor in the child's life. Her love and support and nurturing will always be above every thing others can give. She will always be irreplaceable. That's why a mother should be responsible coz even in her action, she becomes the living example for the child

Absolutely not! Every mother take care of their children with love and they want the best for them. I agree with you, that raising a child is not about the physical requirements only, but more important is to fulfill the emotional needs which best only could be given by a mother. This will effect their future and personality.

Though I do agree that no one can replace a mother....I have also seen women who just do not have the mother's instincts. I've worked at a school (with young children) and we also had a daycare centre along with the school..and I know first hand about this. No one's to blame..it's just that we assume based on the majority that a mother 'knows' how to handle kids...but not everyone is able to do so and sometimes...childcare providers do a better job. Having said that...I don't think anyone can take my place with my children...and even if I'm willing to have household help...I wouldn't leave my kids with a childcare provider or my house with a maid for that matter. I quit working a few months back to be home for my children.

It is really difficult to share my mother’s role in my life as all mothers and their children share the same story of love and sacrifice and a special place inside the mother’s heart which cannot be compared to anything on this world. Now I am doing my own bit for my son and in this way I think we women are luckier than men…by giving birth and taking care of another child, we at least get a small opportunity to repay a little of our mother’s contribution in our own life.

Mother is a living God on this earth, and there is no substiture for mothers love and kindness!!!

I think it depends on the childcare provider and the size of it. I worked in a few daycares and have seen different situations. The first one I worked at was my favorite. It was a small daycare and I worked the nightshift. I had the same 3 kids all the time 5 days a week. They are like my kids. I loved them and they loved me. They cried if I wasn't there and on my days off I stopped in just to see them. I remembered their birthdays and I took care of them like they were my own kids. Not all daycare workers get that personal with their kids.

i talked to friend one time working in other country about leaving her child into a childcare center while working. and only recently she found out that kids there including her child are being punched on their tummies to stay quiet. upon knowing it, she immediately brought her child back to our country and let her mom do the caring while she works back abroad. there is no doubt that mothers will always have that loving touch to their children no matter what. unfortunately for me, i'm a dad. but i sure know how to give care for my kids the same way a mom like you does.

Nothing can replace the care of the mother, because she knows everything about her child's feelings, wants and needs.

I have to agree with you and I feel the role of a mother in life is to be a mother. Personally, I dont plan to work when I get married and become a mother. I do have a Mary Kay business but that is flexible and something I will wrap around time with my children. Because I just feel stay at home Mom's are the best kind of child care a baby needs.

My mother is prbablythe person who shaped my life the most, she introduced me to books, food, excersize, joy and most of all life! without my mother i wouldnt be who i am today. while i admire that childcare providers go out of their way to help children i believe they won be able to take the role of a mother.

i talked to a friend one time who is working abroad about leaving her child in a childcare center while she works in the office. and only recently that she found that kids there including her child are being punched on their tummies to stay quiet. upon knowing it, she immediately brought her child back here in our country and let her mom do the caring while she work back abroad. there is no doubt that mothers will always have that loving touch to their children no matter what. unfortunately for me, im a dad. but i do know how to take care and give care for my kids the same way a mom like you does.

As a rule, a stay at home mother is best for a preschool child. However, there are some women who, although they gave birth to a child or children, do not have the required emotional bond to the child. Some may have that emotional bond but not the required knowledge. Child care can be learned, if the woman cares enough to learn, but without the emotional bond, the child would be better off under someone else's care.

Hi, For child carers our kids are another pay check.They don't care about the kids well being as they can't take up teh role of mothers.I introduced Childcare to my little girl when she was ten months old so that I could get back to work,but it didnt work well for either of us,At work I was always thinking about my baby,therefore I resigned and now I am a full time mommy to two beautiful kids and enjoying every minute of their growing up period
