Heart-wrenching

Hubby told me there was a report on abuse to a 2-month old baby over news last night. I missed it as I was fast asleep.

As I was surfing the web today, I stumbled upon the video link to the said abuse. It was heart-wrenching watching the clips. I had Yani joined me and we were flabbergasted.

Comments made to the parents of the baby were extremes. Some blamed the parents for leaving the baby with a maid alone. But they don't understand the real reason why it was so. Ever since women were encouraged to return to the workforce years ago to make our nation as robust as it is today, the "perfect" family structure where mom minds the kids and dad brings home the bacon is lost. In today's economy, it is a very painful and difficult decision for most couples to decide whether the wife (or husband for that matter) should stay at home. Being a SAHM(H) is perfect, there's no doubt about it in my own opinion, but it is easily said than done to some.
