Child abuse

These few days there were articles on newspaper on how working mothers are abusing their kids by sending them to childcare centres as young as 6 months old. Many were saying that the working mothers are selfish and wanted to work as they do not want to take up the responsiblity to look after their kids. The others argue that they have no choice as the rising cost of living force them to go out to work. One of the reapons said the parents should rent instead of buying their house. Very funny idea as owning a house for kids future become a bad idea. The rent in Australia has been increasing and if you do the Maths, you will realized it is cheaper to buy in the long run than renting. One lady wrote in to say that they were able to stay at home as they are staying in the church's premises as husband is a minister. They had to budget and choose on what to buy as they rely only on one income.

Many argue they chose to send their kids to school as they will learn social skills and learn from their peers. Home schooling will not be able to be done if parents do not teach their kids. I myself find it hard to teach Channery properly as she seems unable to sit down properly. With peers, children will learn to obey rules and learn from teachers. I am one who think that sending kids to school is a good thing.
Am I killing my kids interestrs and passion for learning? I sent the my 3 elder kids to school really early since they were 18 months. Maybe I shoud do an experiment and only send Channery when she is 4 yrs old. not too early la.

Today I brought Channery to the park and she played catching 2 big dogs. The owner threw the stick and the dogs chased after the stick and brought it back. Channery had a lot of fun and now she is dog tired so she is asleep now.

I think I should do my part to teach my baby. Why leave it to others when I can do it.
