A hawker paid a baby-sitter RM1,800 a month to take care of his three-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter. The son unfortunately died choking on the rice he was eating and now he had blamed the babysitter for the tragedy. Sometimes, I think the real tragedy begins when parents allow their children to be taken care of by others. Having given birth to children, it is only natural that parents take care of their children themselves. It is not only that this way, they can cultivate them with their ideals but who I wonder will provide the unconditional love and warmth that should be accorded to the young ones? Many a times, parents often cite their careers and busy schedule for sending their kids to babysitters and while it is true in this modern world that we are bogged down with our work in the office, it is a shame that parents, while often intelligent and highly educated aren't noble enough to sacrifice the little time that they have with the people closest to them. It never occurs to them that their kids will grow up one day, loving the maids more than them and one day, they may have to leave the nest and will have careers of their own, during which time, they will be in turn, be busy and will have to send the parents, now old and shriveled, to old folks homes just like they sent them to babysitters once upon a time. If we look into the animal realm, it is hard to find animals other than human beings, giving up their youngs to be cared for by other animals and I wonder if it's God's plan that parents should take care of their children.
