[quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of an infant in daycare (DC is almost 9 months old). Our child is doing well and by some accounts thriving in daycare (becoming independent, interacting with other babies, meeting developmental milestones etc.). Most of friends and acquaintances are SAHM or use a nanny or grandparents as their primary childcare. I am constantly being asked why I would use daycare as if it is an inferior choice (e.g. less attention, more illnesses). I dislike recounting our reasons because it seems like I'm criticizing their choice of childcare by doing so (e.g. I need to work, I don't like the idea of leaving DC alone with one person, there's more stimulation being around other people etc.). It feel like the conversations turn into debates or arguments. What do others on this forum do to avoid these situations?[/quote]
