I care because the little white lie has consequences. When moms decide to call daycare school, they are implying that my baby/toddler, who doesn't NEED to be in school yet, is not in school when she is supposed to be. They try to make school for babies the norm, so they can feel better. Which shoves the burden of feeling weird and guilty onto mothers who are not sending their babies to daycare.

I think "working moms" and "stay-at-home moms" is the same principle. "Working" moms implies that moms who don't work are not working, which even implies that we are broken. But if we called ourselves "full-time moms," the "working moms" wouldn't like it because it implies that they are "part-time moms," or even "weekend moms." Any mom who wouldn't like me calling myself a "full-time mom" should understand why I don't like them calling daycare "school."

Pulling up this 2 month old thread at 3 am?

I would call you "crazy mom"


Ok, that might have been a little insensitive, seriously you should get counseling.

You seriously think that calling daycare school for a six month old somehow means that people think you should send your six month old to school? Relax. Or it's going to be a long and stressful like for your baby/toddler.
