An increasing number of Japanese women today work even after getting married. And even after having b baby, it’s likely that the mother will leave the baby at a childcare center in order to keep on working. It’s also becoming more common for mothers to go back to work when their children get older. But others still stay at home to take care of their children. In Japan, mothers are expected to raise their children by themselves: it is not common to hire house workers and babysitters.
In some cases, mothers leave their children to their own mothers and go to work. Other mothers are so busy and can’t ask a grandmother for help that they become exhausted. Mothers learn how to raise their children by reading books after getting married, but more than a few become distressed when things don’t go well.
越來越多的日本婦女即使結婚以后仍然工作。生完孩子以后把孩子送到托兒所，自己繼續上班的母親也有很多。還有一些母親在孩子長大一點兒以后就重新出去找工作。但是仍然有很多人認為母親應該待在家里，專心帶孩子。日本社會認為母親就應該負責帶孩子。雇保姆和臨時保姆的情況并不多見。
有時，母親會把自己的孩子托給自己的母親照顧，而自己出去工作。也有一些母親無法依賴自己的母親，自己又非常忙，所以過得很辛苦。母親在結婚以后就開始看育兒書，學習養孩子的方法，但是仍有很多母親因為帶孩子不順手而煩惱。
