Ignore these people. They obviously don't know how mothers feel when they have to leave their child in the centres, while they are working hard, in order to provide a better future for their child. I've taught speech and drama at centres like this, and at the end of the day, they are very attached to their mum, as there will be a kid or two saying they miss their mums when my class is going to end. Some will even break down or be on the verge of crying.

my friend also said like that "so pity",but for me it's more pity if I left her alone with the maid, I'd prefer left her at ifc with a few teacher watching a few kids at the same time, compare to one on one, the maid might have to go to toilet or cooks for herself, so it's a big no to leave daughter alone with maid

Yup and maids never worked out for me... even then I din dare leave my kids under her care

Hi, Taking in consideration the busy lives that we have in Singapore, sending the child to IFC is normal and there is no reason for people to be judgemental about it. So please ignore and be happy

I think in today's society it's common , most old folks dont want to look after grandkids. Just ignore them, or just explain nicely to them, it's not like it's something u heard of(:

Hi... most of us send our child to infant care or day care. It’s a norm in SG. I think you should just shut off these comments

Yup trying :)

Agree. Have encountered similar experience as well. Just do what you think it's best for your child.

Only after I became a parent I realized there are so many know-it-alls...
