It is thought by many that raising children is only parents` responsibility and should not be shared with other family members. I think, however, it would definitely be better if uncles, aunts and grandparents would participate in this and in this essay, both views will be discussed.
On the one hand, when whole families are involved in bringing up children, there are more standpoints and previous experiences to help solve daily life decisions and issues. For example, a grandmother can share her views on how to apply limits on her grandchild as she has already done this with her own children. Another advantage is that there is no need to hire babysitters, adult family members, in like manner, could take shifts to take care of children and therefore everybody will have the opportunity to equally participate in parenting and have more free time to do leisure activities and work.
Others think, however, that only parents are responsible for their child upbringing. The first reason for this is that too many opinions may get the child confused and unable to know who to respond to. The second reason is that parents should consult professionals, such as paediatricians or psychologists when deciding on what is better for their kids. There are, for instance, many books on raising children that can be read, rather than asking for help from the rest of the family with parenting decisions.
In conclusion, whereas some people think that only parents should decide how to bring up their children, I think that sharing this responsibility with the rest of the family is more economical, time saver and nurturing for children`s personalities. In this manner, all households around the world should opt for this way of raising kids.
