SHEROES a few days back had asked us readers to share a post on #mumswithoutbabysitters. Here is 'Our' story, looking at #parentswithoutbabysitters and #participativeparenting #Iraisms
* Ira at Cubbon Park when she was about 15 months
We are parents to an active, inquisitive and chatty
26 month old and we have never had a babysitter. A choice that we made which
ensured a huge learning curve for both of us as new parents and our new born.
My husband and I chose alternate modes of work so that we could take turns to
be with her. So, when one parent has a meeting, the other takes over. This way
we have got a lot of time with her and it has been immensely overwhelming,
being there to witness all her milestones. There are times when she has gone to
meetings with Papa and there have been times when she has attended an event
Mamma is speaking at. But these long strides began with some initial baby
steps. It began with me going on my maternity break and my husband quitting his
job to take a baby break, in the true sense. Participative parenting has worked
for us, helping us balance our new roles and our careers. It has been a choice
that we as parents have made and we wouldn't do it any other way.
