that's a great dilemma. the mother should always stay home with the kids to attend personally to their needs. if the father is already a good provider, there is no reason for the mother to work and leave the baby with a caretaker. Kids need a person to nurture them and teach them good manners as well as ABCs and numbers. Who else has the capacity to really care about the kids but the mother?only the mother has the ability to love, care, nurture, teach, and discipline her kids the proper way. Mother knows best as they say. The crucial years are from birth to 4 years old. When the kids start going to school, then the mother can take a part time job so she can still attend to her kids' needs. when the kids start elementary, mommies can go full time without much worry as long as she stays home for the night and spend time with her kids during weekedns together with her husband. the only exception to this is when the mother is a single mom, and she needs to work to provide for the kids. at most, the mother should get somebody she could trust, preferably a close family member.

Children do a whole lot better if one parent stays home. I was a 'stay-at-home' mom and loved it. I did this until the youngest began the 1st grade. I went to work but I really hated it because I had to pick all 3 up, from a sitter or neighbor, and be expected to have dinner ready instantly. I really feel like the parent who stays home should not get a job until the kids can cook for themselves, that way there would be less pressure on the parent and the parent wouldn't have to take time off because a child gets sick at school, a child gets hurt at school or a child must stay home because he/she is sick. A lot of employers hate hiring mothers because of this - they want someone who is more reliable.

I think its best if the children are raised by thier parents and not daycare. They have so many things to learn and it is a parents responsibility to teach them. Everything from eating and drinking, walking, playing, sharing, ABC's &123's.
As well as things like love, compassion, empathy, trust, respect, caring about those less fortunate, how to treat others and so many other things.
These things children learn from their parents, watching them interact with their partner, family, friends and others. Watching how they deal with certain situations, watching how they care and love etc.
I think if you can its best to stay at home with your children at least until they are in school.
But this doesnt work for everyone. Some people just cant handle it and need to go back to work. Its in the childs best intrests for both mother and father to be happy. And if either one is unhappy staying at home, the child will see that and be affected. So in those cases its best for that parent to go back to work.
It all really depends on each person.

Only if one WANTS to stay at home. Mom or Dad should leave the baby when and if they feel comfortable doing so.

The mom should leave the baby when she has to go to work, or to have a little fun.

I think one parent should stay home - but it does not matter which one.
