Most times parents who both work full time have to leave their children with someone else.
What do you think of this? Do you think it’s selfish for them to add another?

Do people who think it’s selfish feel that way because it’s not mum looking after them (mum is full time) or is it because it’s specifically nursery?

Difficult question.
Do I think children are better off being at home with a loving, healthy (no drugs alcohol abuse etc) parent than at nursery…yes.
Do I think being selfish is always a bad thing…no.
Do I think immediate carers need to be able to fill their own cup so they can fill their child’s to the best extent… yes.
I think there’s a lot of layers to it. Yes, a bit selfish. But that does not necessarily mean it is a bad thing to be selfish, sometimes.
