Many Canadian couples take care of their babies by themselves. They never rely on their parents. I am raising my BB by myself. Yes, it's tough, but it's very rewarding. I wouldn't want my parents to take care of my BB any way for the following reasons:
1) Most of the grandparents only have the experience how they raise you in China. Those old experience might not applicable to the modern Canadian culture, some of those ancient method might even be harmful to BB.
2) Grandparents tends to spoil their grandchildren. It's more difficult to discipline your BB later in life.
3) By raising up your BB, you are bonding with your child. That's the most precious thing in the world. Imagine you give your BB to your parents, and by the time you see your BB, he wouldn't want to be hold by you, how sad it would be?
So just be ready for the coming hard work. As long you are ready for the minimum sleeping for a few month, you should be fine. I did that myself, and I don't regret a bit. I enjoy every moment with my BB. I guess what's what they called 母爱 |
