Re: Why childcare
Toddlers who stay most of the time away from their parents(especially mother) are usually aggressive, they bite and hit.
So how do you explain the toddlers/kids who display the same behaviors and worst, that actually do stay at home with their mothers?
This is a general comment below, so please no one take personal offense...
In general I have also seen some really bathmeez/disrespectful kids who are home all day with their mothers. You can't be ignorant and think that only if mother's stay at home with kids do they turn out ok. Everyone's situation is different. Not everyone can afford to stay at home, and no the woman is not always working to afford "luxuries"....its basic necessities too...like food, mortgage/rent, gas/commuter expenses, baby supplies, baby food...etc....not always to have the bigger car, the bigger house or whatever it is that people assume. Everyone has their situation. Not everything is clear cut either...
just because a woman will stay home with kids, doesn't 100% mean the kids will turn out better and on opposite side just because a woman is working, does not mean the kids will go stray or whatever other reasons were given.
All we can do is hope and pray and do the best we can with our kids.
I think someone said it before...its the "Quality not Quantity"of time spent together that matters most, and the values you teach, and live by example. You try your best, and rest you pray that Allah guides them well.
