should mothers go to work?

I am also supporting of that statement, but I guess in your assignment you have to be promoting the anti-working mothers position. I’ll give you 10 possibilities and you can choose which sound best to you. I hope they help!

1 – It goes against traditional ideas of the ‘nuclear family’…proponents of the nuclear family believe that responsibilities of caring for the child belong to mother and father only.

2 – If mother is working there is considerably less time to form the mother-child bond, which is important for a child.

3 – Child-care decisions – if mother is working the parents must have to decide on child care which can cause family problems if there is a difference in opinion between mother and father.

4 – Child-care costs – Mother may be bringing in money to the household, but a considerable amount will go to the cost of child care anyway.

5 – Inadequate child-care – we see it in the media all the time…people who take care of kids are not always competent; your child may be abused mentally or physically by the child care provider or other children who are being cared for.

6 – Mother is the best teacher – especially in early ages, one-on-one time with mother and child is important for the child to learn about the world and relationships. Most child-care is not one-on-one so the child will be missing out, and intellectual and emotional growth may be stunted.

7 – Since mother is not around for many hours of the day and the child has to listen to the instructions and rules of a child-care provider, when mother comes home the child may not be as responsive to the mother’s discipline.

8 – As the child gets older and no longer needs a babysitter after school, the child will have some hours in the afternoon with no supervision. This can lead to idle time where the c hild hangs out with friends and may participate in delinquent behavior (like spray painting graffiti, breaking into houses, etc), and drug use (trying cigarretts, marijuana, etc) because there is noone around to supervise the child.

9 – Some researchers believe that self-control is taught at an early age, when the parents monitor the child, recognize bad behavior, and correct bad behavior when it occurs. Depending on the quality of your child-care, the child-care provider may not be very good at providing this supervision and monitoring (especially if there are many kids at the center), and this will result in your child developing low self-control (which has been linked to criminal behavior…if you need proof of the self-control crime relationship you can cite Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) and the research that tests their ideas).

10 – Even though working mothers can (and do!) come home and spend time with their children, the mother will probably be very tired from work. This means that the child is not getting 100% mom, and there also may be negative effects on mother herself, due to stress, frustration, and exastion.

Well, the cost of daycare is expensive and a lot fo times the mother wldnt make enough to make that expense worth while, in the case of my friend.

There are a lot of “chores” that need to be done with little kids. She could homeschool them or atleast get tehm ready for school. She has meals to prepare, laundry, baths, vaccumming. If the mother works and has to do all of this her stress level would be through the roof OR they would live in a pigstye.

The children have a parent around them at all time so there is constant supervision and they learn discipline and responsibility with helping with chores or taking care of siblings.

All of these things help promote healthy well balanced children. It is always better to have a mom raise you than a daycare center. I would do anything to stay at home with my child!

Good luck

a mother at home is much better for the child because she will raise him/her with love rather than a day-care that will only feed them and put them in front of a television where they get mindless nonsense and learn violence.

A mother at home can also take care of the housework so that the husband will have less stress when he gets home and be happier at work and he will have more time to spend with the kids since he doesn’t have to worry about housework when he gets home

I’m sure there are more points you could make, but these are the only two I can think of right now.

Good luck on your debate.

No, mothers should stay at home and raise the children until they are at least 13 yrs old, I say this because those early years are when children are most influenced by what they see and hear, a good mother will be there to filter out the things that children should not be exposed to and she will also be there to teach the children values that a lot of children now days do not have.

if you ask me they should. but there are also some disadvantages of mothers going to work.. most of it concerning their children… if a mother goes to work everyday and only leaves her children to nannies:

1) the children will have emotional gap from the mother

2) the chlidren will seek love from parents

3) they might rebel against parents because they(mothers) are not always there

4) the nannies could teach morally wrong ideas to their or worse abuse the chlidren

5)mothers won’t be able to fully fulfill their duties as housewives (this is a case to case basis though)

and many other things..

organic mom – i had to confirm my son, there replaced into no desire for him to be accompanied as i replaced into in a project the place i’d desire to arise with the money for to boost him (working) yet despite the fact that if I hadn’t i could have been eligible for reward and as we’ve the NHS i does no longer have had to rigidity approximately scientific or dental therapy as the two are unfastened. the final thank you to describe it is an invisible amputation and it is gut wrenching. I even have suffered with melancholy, been suicidal, self harmed, been indignant, hated myself, blamed myself felt ashamed. It took reunion to artwork with the aid of each and all the thoughts yet I nonetheless have my undesirable days and it will continually be a existence sentence.

it depends on what kind of mother she is, if she is on welfare then society believe that she must go to work, the sooner the better, no matter if it makes her miserable, and if she is married then society believes she must stay home and raise her children, no matter if it makes her miserable

so as long as mothers are miserable, then society is happy, which is why we have more sons of miserable mothers in prison than any other nation on the planet, and more psychiatrists per capita, too

I know this isnt what you wanted, but it is the truth

yes i think so because if you have a safe place for your children there is no harm in earning a seconed income for your family

No.

what can compansate the time killed away from children

yes mothers should work…how else am i going to get my 1500 dollar Gucci boots with the gold horse bit buckle…..DUH
