I attended a 2 hour talk of Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan in an office event the other day. She talked of parenting partnerships.
She talked of how parenting partnership does not necessarily compose of husband and wife. It can be mother and grandmother, or mother and brother, sometimes even a yaya (a.k.a nanny) can also be included in such partnership. The key is to find people who will make the best partners when it comes to parenting.
Key things to remember when on this search is dependability, ability, and availability. For example, we may look at our own parents (our kid’s grandparents) as a parenting partner and they may be dependable and certainly able but most of the time the question would be are they available? At the end of the day, we really cannot force anyone to take care of our own children for us.
