25 February"Do you think professional parenting is the way to go for Singapore?"I think professional parenting may just be the thing that all adults need in Singapore. Given the fast pace of our society, the time adults spend at work may sometimes be more than that spent at home or at sleep put together. With this in mind, they feel that life would be unthinkable should they have a baby to fend for, which would take up even a larger portion of his or her time. As a result, many couples tend to focus on their career and delay being parents.Should professional parenting happen in Singapore, i suppose many adults would not fear the burden of having children. They can have the best of both worlds - their career and personal lives. In fact, some form of professional parenting has already been emerging in our generation. They are hired maids and retired grandparents. The parenting responsibilities have mostly been upheld by them. However, such is the reluctance of singaporeans to let others handle their child, that even some are unwilling to hire maids!Although some might not be trustful of the professional parenting service, i believe it is only the miniority that are like this. Hence, having professional parenting may be the way to go for Singapore!
