 Re: Stay at home or working parents? | |
I know about the social thing but I think that has to do totally with the parents. Nichole is rarely at home. We have playgroups twiice a week with toddler her age, we started going when she was 8 or 9 months old. So she knows them well. We also have church twice a week where she goes to the nursery alone. Well not now since i started working in the nursery but... I leave her for one service to attend church.
She had horrible seperation anxiety as a baby and even as a younger toddler. She has grown out of that for the most part now. I never left her as a baby. She was breastfed exclusivly till she was 6 months old then started solids but still nursed after every feeding. My husband has only taken her out of th ehouse once by himself. NOw that is a totaaly different issue lol BUt he stays home with her and I leave now. My husband and I have only had two real date nights since she was born. Partly due to the fact we have no nearby relatives. His SIL watched her once and lives next door, but she works full t ime and goes to school full time so very busy girl.
I think if you work you need to make sure to have even more quality time with your child, if you stay home you still have to make sure you have quality time but its easier to find. You do have to make sure that they get socialized though |
