ワンオペ育児をめぐって、さまざまな議論がされているが、正直なところ、少し騒ぎ過ぎではないかと感じてしまう。
While there are various discussions around one-person child rearing (someone raising a child entirely on their own), honestly I feel that people are a little too noisy about it.
確かに、一人で小さな子供を育てるのは大変だ。
It's true that it is a lot of work to raise a small child all alone.
しかし、昔から「亭主元気で留守がいい」という言葉があるように、私にとっては、夫が家にいる方が大変なのだ。
But just as the old saying goes,"The head of the household is best when he's energetic and way," I feel it's more work when my husband is at home
子どもと私だけだったら、疲れた日は食事は簡単なもので済ませて、早めに寝てしまえばいい。
If it's just my child and me, it's okay for us to eat something simple on days when I'm tired, and I can go to bed early
だが、夫がいるとそうはいかない。
But that's not something I can do when my husband is around
それなりの料理を出さなければならないし、寝るのも遅くなってしまう。
Not only do I have to make reasonably good food, I also go to bed later
何かあったときのことを考えると不安だが、私の場合は、ワンオペ育児の方が向いているように思う。
While I feel anxious about what to do if something were to happen, I think that in my case, I'm more cut out for one - person child rearing
近年、「ワンオペ育児」という言葉がよくつかわれるようになった。
In recent years, the phrase"one - person child rearing" has gotten to be used frequently.
そうしたことを背景に、一人で子育てをして悩んでいる親が愚痴を言ったり弱音を吐いたりしやすくはなった。
This has helped make it easier for parents having trouble rearing a child on their own to complain and grumble.
しかし、それでことが足りるものではない。
However, that is not enough.
昔のように家族が多かったり、地域の結びつきが強かったりして、みんなで子育てをしていた時代とは違う。
We now live in a different age from when people raised children together, such as when families were larger and local communities were stronger.
★今は、一人親や共働きの家庭が多いうえに、ちょっと子どもの泣き声がすると通報されてしまうような時代だ。
Now, there are not only many single parents and households where both parents work, we are even in an age where people nearly call the police just because a child cries ofr a little bit.
いろいろな人に気をつかい、不安や緊張と戦いながら、子育てが行われている。
People raise their children while being considerate of many other people, and while they fight against anxiety and nervousness.
ただSNSなどで不安を述べたり弱音を吐いたりするだけでは、だめなのだ。
You can't simply state your dissatisfaction and complain on social networking sites and other locations.
親が本当に困ったときにSOSを出しやすい環境を一日も早く整える必要があると私は考える。
I think that we need to create and environment as soon as possible where parents can easily send out an SOS when they are in real trouble.
