In many part of the world, it is common for one parent to stay and home and raise a newborn child while the other works full-time to earn money. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In many countries, it has been observed that

one

parent has to stay full time at

home

to raise a newborn baby and the other has to

work

full-time for earning. In my view, the advantages to

this

far outweigh the disadvantage, because the

child

could up bring properly and

work

-

home

life is balanced Admittedly,

one

of the significant disadvantages of

this

development is that the

child

could not grow very well. To elucidate, in many families,

both

partners have to

work

full-time to earn sufficient income in order to maintain the standard of living or for fulfilling the basic needs, particularly, it is seen in the cities.

Therefore

, in

such

families, if

both

husband and wife are working full-time for maintaining the household expenses, the newborn

child

will not get proper love and nourishment from

one

of his or her parents.

As a result

,

such

children do not grow well and sometimes, they deal with mental stress or would become introvert. Despite mentioning the drawback, there are many advantages to

this

trend.

Firstly

, the

child

would get proper nourishment and well-being from

one

of his or her parents.

For example

, in Japan, 85% of children are physically and mentally fit and fine, because they grew up very well as

one

of their parents is always at

home

to look after them and other works full-time to maintain household expenses

instead

of those whose

both

parents are working.

Secondly

, the house and

work

-life is balanced properly.

This

is because there is always a mother at the

home

to take care of the

child

and father works outside full-time to earn money for maintaining the standard of living.

This

way

both

parents can concentrate properly on their

work

and maintain the house and

work

life. In conclusion,

although

the

child

does not get the love and nourishment properly if his or her parents are working all the time, in my belief, the positives of

this

far outweigh the negative as not only does it maintain the balance between

work

and

home

, but

also

the

child

becomes active, fit and fine.
