I know a number of working parents leave their children in play-schools or before and after school care. I really don't know how these children feel when they meet their parents in the evening or when their parents leave them in the morning. As far I am concerned my wife quit her job when she was expecting. What's your opinion or views on this common issue?

I stopped work until my son was 2 years old and then he started nursery school. I guess it's all due to progress but I think things were better when families knew that mom was at home doing her job and father was out doing his and the children were not out all day. But in those times we didn't need money for all the latest stuff and technological gadgets so it was possible for only one parent o be away working. Progress is not always good.

@mysdianait I always thought women are more loving and caring so I let her quit although I took care of the baby during the night when my wife needed the much deserved rest. I never hesitated taking care of my daughter during the night although she did not wake up much in the night.

I know that parents look after the future of their children how they see fit.
Some decide to work two jobs so they can provide financially for their children. Others, decided that one parent stays at home to take care of the child. There is no right or wrong way of parenting.

I believe in giving children (and people in general) quality tome. It is far better to spend half an hour with a child playing with him and talking yo him than it is being at home doing other things while the children are really alone in the same room.

@MALUSE I have heard too much about "staying at home moms" who spend their time in their computers, tablets and cellphones as any young kid.

The whole thing depends on how your children adapt and how sound is your financial standing. I quit my job at the peak of my career because my son wasn't comfortable and i couldn't focus on my career with his emotional condition.. Not that he was suffering from anything of import but he is sensitive.. It was the best decision of my life.. i have no regrets.. But this is totally a personal choice.

There is a way to balance things up the children most not suffer because of the work and the economic side of the family (jobs) should not suffer because of the children.
Only those that are in it knows the best on how to balance things out.
Peace out
