I don't prefer nanny to look after my child. It is best that a mother should look after her child. To ensure his or her safety. Specially, nowadays there are a lot of nanny who fools anyone. They try to kidnap a baby and ask for ransom. That is why after giving birth, I decided to stop my job to look after my daughter. I am the one doing all, like food preparation, cleaning bottles, take her a bath and the like. Right now, she is already nine months, I can say that it really pays to be a full time mother. I really sit to it that I give my daughter a QUALITY time. It is not easy being a full time mother and the same time a wife. But I tell you it gives me happiness.

I work. My DH works. My DH works weird hours as an RN and works about every 3rd day for 12 to 18 straight hours, depending on the schedule. On the days that we both work, or the days my DH just got off work and needs to sleep, our DD goes to a babysitter's house. I don't feel bad about putting her there. It takes 2 incomes to be able to live as comfortably as we do. No, I didn't have to go back to work after my DD was born, but I *wanted* to go back to work. I love my DD dearly but would go stark raving insane if I was stuck at home with her day in and day out. I still am there for her at night and on my off days and stuff like that. My mother stayed at home for the most part with my siblings and me when we were younger, but my husband's parents both worked. No ill feelings or messed up childhoods for either of us.

I also support your opinion as well. I suppport you because I think moterh is the only who can nurture his child properly. Otherwise it is not possible for nanny to take care of child.

Im 100% with you, i dont trust nannys, only my mother or mother in law i would trust completly with my daughter. My cousin always told me that your own kid is your own kid, and it hurts you different than any other, even if you like kids a lot. And is soo true after i had my daughter (12 days ago :) ) i totally understand what shemeant, So i would never trust her to anybody i think the nicest thing is when my baby is crying and i talk to her and she relaxes. that to me is the nicest thing. There are so many moments you loose when you are not there for your baby...

Agree with you.
I take care of my daughter by myself.My mum is helping me with thw washing stuff.But i do the the most.
I am willing to be a full-time mother.But my mum don't agree with me ,she ask me to apply for a job when baby 6-month old.You know in China,most of the baby are cared by their grandparents.
So i hope i can get a part-time job,then i can spend more time with my baby.

I don't think nannies should even be an option unless in a emergent or special situation. If you have a kid you either raise it or give it to someone who can. Don't let 'mommy' or 'daddy' mean 'the person who pays my nanny' or 'my biological parent'.
Come on people! You made them, raise your own kids!
