My Wife’s Take on Motherhood and Daycare

A few days ago, my wife posted a sequence of Instagram stories on motherhood and dropping babies to daycare.

Her phone blew up – it turned out to be quite a controversial topic.

Needless to say, I found the content extremely valuable. And since my blog has a fatherhood category, this fits perfectly in it.

Enjoy!

Motherhood

Sharing a thought while the food is in the oven…

There is no such thing as “focus on yourself and put your needs first” once you become a mother. You now have a duty to be ready to comfort and be around your baby 24/7.

Women became self-centered and selfish. Not their fault though.

The propaganda machine is working very hard to convince them that they are more needed at work or at a self exploration therapy session, rather than with their babies.

Mothers, don’t fall for it.

Always put your baby’s needs before yours. That’s your job!

The Next Day

Interesting fact:

Yesterday I received likes, reactions, and positive comments on my motherhood stories… From men only!

It looks like they agree with the human (and gender) roles and nature.

I’ll say it again.

Women should not go for a glass of wine while leaving the baby with a nanny.

Women should not work on that excel sheet in the office and drop the baby in daycare.

The priorities have been shifted and messed up.

Choose wisely.

10 Reasons for Not Dropping My Baby to Daycare

If socializing is the reason, then daycare before the age if 3 is completely unnecessary. They are not able to switch from self play to real social play before that age.

Babies are not able to self regulate. They need the caregiver to calm them down. The mother is the best option.

An overworked teacher in a kindergarten is not able to properly soothe all the babies. So they need to learn to soothe themselves. Which might lead to horrible personality issues when they are grown ups.

Before being 3 years old, they don’t know if their parent will ever come back. They cannot understand yet. So they suffer on daily basis.

Of course, the parents are blind to this because it is not something they’ve been told. They think that their baby cries only at the beginning and then it gets used to it.

Lie.

Babies just get used to the suffering.

A teacher can never care, or read the babies’ needs better than the parent. Especially since they’re not even paid well. Incentive is 0.

Which leads to the high staff turnover. The kids need to attach over and over with different strangers.

It’s all just a business. Both parents are forced to go work under the pretense of ‘freedom’ and ‘equality of the sexes’, whilst the government takes half their money in taxes.

What a joke.

People are literally shipping their kids off to be educated by some random person during the most formative years of brain development. Kids need to be influenced by their parents values before everyone else.

Kids and babies should absolutely spend times with grandparents and other people who truly love them. They can feel the love and these people will stay in the child’s life for a long time. Family and friends is a completely different topic than daycare. It’s incomparable.

The kid will learn that mommy and daddy have a personal life too, by seeing them do stuff together, not by being dropped in an institution. He will learn to respect their lifestyle, privacy, and values even more.

99% of the kids are dropped to daycare because the parents go to work, not because they do meaningful stuff with each other.

Full credit goes to my wife.
