Mothers are the primary caregiver. It's scientifically documented that a mother's presence is incredibly imperative to a young child's development. Also, this video is about a MOTHER. of course nobody is talking about fathers in the military, but if this were about a father, I'd say the exact same thing - nobody has a right to go into the military when you have young children. Either don't have children or don't go into the military.

[@Alexandra-dy2ns]

I'm afraid I don't think so, at all. I admire that she is serving her country, but the early years in children's lives are very formative and therefore I believe mothers shouldn't stay away from their babies for such a long time. I left mine with my mother for a couple of days from time to time and as much as he loves granny, he wanted back to mommy again. To be honest, I find it sad that the boy had to spend one third of his life without both parents.

It's very sad to see a child in his formative years not be with his parents on a regular basis. As a teacher who worked with young children for close to forty years, I can't begin to tell you how many heartbreaking situations I have seen primarily because of absent and/or negligent parents. I too grew up with parents who worked long hours from the time I was three years old. I always told myself I would never do two full-time jobs (motherhood and an outside job) at the same time if I had children. It just isn't humanly possible to give your best to both at the same time. One or the other, or both will suffer for it.

Bah, true!!! Toddlers aren't in the military, and they follow NO rules.

[@2drealms196]

I can't believe the military is that desperate for personnel they started recruiting toddlers. Well actually I could see this coming. Some military experts were talking about geometric changes in the military. Perhaps the fact they behave so unpredictably gives them an element of surprise over enemy combatants which is why they are being recruited. They also pose smaller targets and are harder to hit. Plus a transport full of Toddlers weighs less and would save on military fuel expenditures.

By running up to his mum, this little boy just did what came natural to him as any child would.
