No one wants to take care of babies!

My sister and I have a theory.

No one wants to take care of babies (well, maybe except for my good friend, Karen's parents =P).

We all want to work. We would much rather work than to stay home. Anything than to stay home with the baby!

This generation has changed. For grandparents who are not yet retired and for new parents who have been working, they just want to keep on working. Is it that with taking care of a baby, you just don't feel that sense of accomplishment that you do with working?! Don't get me wrong, taking care of a baby is definitely hard work (anyone who's been a parent would not argue with this). But because you have to take care of your child and that it's an everyday lifelong task, you see it as something that you just do.

So for grandparents alike, they would much rather keep on working until they HAVE to retire and for those new parents, (who are probably still in shock that their lives have changed forever - I still am =P) they would do anything than to lose their previous career-driven lives to a baby.

What took me to writing this Blog is that I feel so lucky I can have both. With having my own business, I can take care of Baby myself and sometimes with help from the grandparents. But it's when I want, I mean "rather", work that I feel so guilty for it. And it seems like the grandparents would take care of Baby only bare miniminally (when I REALLY need them) that I can hardly imagine having a second baby anytime soon.

Maybe this Blog stemmed from my sister having her second child on Tuesday, 09.18. Congratulations!
