Many modern couples are beginning to recognize that it is better to have a parent at home to take care of the children, rather than relying on a full-time babysitter or pre-school. I agree that this is a good idea. First, no one can care for a child as well as his own parents. parent also have face the fact that child care costs are very high. Finally, it is my belief that family life is better when one of the spouses devotes his or her time to maintaining the home and family.
