I actually have a question for TS and parents who have done the confinement centre.
1) Why? the need is to assist mothers and baby in "reentering" the world after the delivery, correct?
2) Is it normal for the price to be half of a Perodua Axia? or is it because im a B40 and feels that that value is too high. Wow, RM17k for a month (or 2) i assume. What does the service provide other that boarding and food? daily massage and nursing?
3) Why not the father assist with the confinement? that's what i did, finished my leave (fortunate that my boss/company gave that). 1 month worth of leave finished for 1 month of confinement, assisting my wife (back then) by cooking for her and the baby, massage, taking care of the baby etc. Since parenting a co-op "game".
4) or am i out of touch?
Sorry TS, im not actually answering your question.
I'm not answering to Ts question too.
1) I also don't understand, Maybe they wanna recreate a bigger family bonding of mom, dad ,baby and outsider. Or just throwing money to get 50/50 of uncertainty of New experience
2) The cheapest 10 yrs ago the price of giving birth private only Rm2k per baby. Hospital give birth Rm15. Any labour emergency private still sent mother back to GH (The Irony)As for confinement Rm2k only.
Seriously for raw food material for cooking confinement only about Rm800-Rm1000. So the confinement nanny earn Rm1k is considerable.
Nowadays people giving birth to gold child. RM10k per child and Confinement fee macam wang jatuh dari langit.
3)Sekarang punya parent tak macam dulu, appreciate the hard moment and through all these difficulties experience a marriage can last longer. Nowadays not like that, tak suka cerai je. Absolutely nothing to appreciate or to grab on( hardwork as a team, as a couple or as a parents.)
4) you are not out of touch and you are not alone. Human evolve into something else they rather gets it easier done rather than struggle.
This is a cycle. During the old time, old folks saving up money for younger generation. Nowadays generation no saving. Going forward the next younger and youngest generation is going to struggle in future and the cycle goes around again.
