I have been a SAHM since 2012 and my girl is now 28 months plus old. I can't say it is easy to be a full-time housewife as there are endless household chores to complete plus looking after a young child can be time consuming and physically draining. But the only satisfaction we derived out of it is watching our kids grow up day by day from being a little baby to a young child who is happily learning to explore this beautiful world. Some mums have started enrolling their child into childcare centres or even playgroups to allow their little ones to interact with kids their age and learn new skills. I believe to a certain extent it is good as a child learns how to communicate with their peers and there would be lots of other developmental programmes like dancing, singing, story telling, arts and crafts lessons to keep them well entertained. So does it mean that if I do not enroll my child to any learning institution, my child will not grow up happily and lack the communication skills to interact with people? I feel that people thinking in this way do not fully emphatise with us being a SAHM. The joy we feel looking after our own children cannot be measured in monetary terms. And why should they judge based on the opinion that
sending kids to childcare centres would definitely prove to be a better option than jus leaving kids at home who will "learn nothing"? And does it also mean that children who have tuition teacher to guide them along will definitely do better than those who do not have the means to engage one? I do not agree
with these people who have such subjective thinking and true every parents would want the very best for their children but I believe every SAHM are also doing great nurturing their child at home. That doesn't goes to say that I am one of those great SAHM but at least I will try hard to be one. I just feel hurt that some people are so quick to judge us as one failure group of people who has failed to make ourselves useful to our children.
