[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're not going to get a straight answer about this because academia and medicine are filled with the parents of kids who are in daycare. I don't think it is good for them. It is known prenatal viral exposure is bad. Why would being out of mom magically reduce the damage? [/quote]

I would like you to read your post and think about how crazy you sound. If your kid doesn't catch everything in daycare, s/he'll catch it in elementary school. Currently have happy, healthy 10 and 12 year olds.[/quote]

It is not good for them either but at least their brains are more mature.

We evolved to live in small groups of a dozen or so families, not to catch 6-12 viruses every year. We were not evolved to deal with air travel. [/quote]

If you really think this, then go buy your cabin in the woods and limit your social circle to a dozen families and never travel outside of a 50 mile radius. Up to you.

The rest of us are living happy, long lives while traveling and living in complex social environments where we interact with many, many people throughout the course of the year. But no one's trying to keep you from living out your quiet dream of an isolated agrarian existence. Go for it![/quote]
