If u r working how many hours u r away from home, to me a working mum is not good enough cos my mum was working when I was young, we were well provided but I have to swing from my grandparents hse to my parents hse everyday, it is really frustrating and not helping at all when the exam is coming up.
So wat happen if u get overseas education believe me, we are the ones who envy those mum who is not working!

When you are there every moment from their birth, you will make time for them for sure.
Couples who are mature and financially stable can commit much more time and feel the responsibility for their children. Sure there is daycare and everything is working around the kid's schedule but every moment makes great memories. The piggyback rides, the first walk, the terrible 2, the ballet lessons, Disney World trips, first grade blues, the immunization shots, their drawings and essays about their daddy and mommy, why would anyone want to miss them?
If you get married at 18 and have 4 kids in 3 marriages, you will be struggling growing up yourself and finding enough resources to feed the kids. Overgrown kids are not ready to be parents as they can't take care of themselves.

I suppose that deserves a different answer for each individual. Most people who want children make them the center of their time and attention. There are people who are enjoying life the way it is too much to make the commitment it takes to raise a child properly. And then there are those that "make mistakes" and the children suffer because mommy and daddy had no real plans and don't want to give up their lives entirely. Children are the biggest responsibility someone could have and raising and educating them is the biggest most rewarding job to accomplish however they take a great deal of love attention and time that some people just don't have to give yet.

We REALLY do, but most choose not to take it. Your kid does not need 12 differant after school activities, you dont need to go shopping alone and spend 3-4 hours, families dont need to spend lots of money to spend time with each other. But, as a society, we do all of these things and more that take away our time with our children. I understand we must work, kids must go to school, and we all must sleep. But there are so many chances we get to spend time with our children that we fill with other far less meaningfull things. Take your kids shopping with you, get up in time to sit and have breakfast together, get involved with school functions such as field trips. The point is, there is time out there, 24 hours a day, to spend together. Take advantage of it, and enjoy hanging out with your kid! Don't spend time because you fell you have to or are supposed to, do it because you can and want to. Many of you may think you child does not like spending time with you, but the more you do, the more they will enjoy it and not feel like they are an imposition and taking away your time. Have fun!

we do, it just seems like we never have ENOUGH.
Life makes us busy. The trick is to find the balance among all the chaos.
I don't know any parent who says they feel like they have enough time with their kids, and that they DON'T wish they had more.
Don't beat yourself up over it. Make the best of the time you have, and don't take them for granted. Soon they will be grown up and gone...then you can only pray that you taught them the right things, so that they can teach your grandchildren the right things in life!

Judging from just the kids on this website alone asking if they're prettier than their friend, if they should have sex at 11, and asking others for their homework answers - Id give a big fat NO.

There are no do overs when it comes to our kids. It's a one shot only deal.
You could find yourself living with a lot of regreat after your kids are gone.

I do, because I am a full time (stay at home) Mom and I am with my daughter every day.
