Re: Please Send Your Kids to Daycare!
I guess one of my objectives as a Mom has always been to ensure that my child is self-sufficient as soon as possible. Apni zindagi ka kuch pata nahin. Allah janay kab bulawa aja'ay.
I kept her home with me until she was 3. Even then she had a schedule and rarely watched TV. There was always discipline and I have still never really "yelled" at her.
I have often been criticized for pushing her to achieve more than is expected of her. No I never do it at the cost of her missing out on all the things that kids should get to do while they are still "kids".
I think I drive her hard for selfish reasons that ultimately will benefit her too. I want her to be independent and self-sufficient so that, when the time comes, I can go in peace and never fear what will become of her without me. Sounds a bit depressing when I read it but the intention is good.
