[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean that your family doesn't believe that a thing such as daycare can exist?  [/quote]

That's silly.  Not believing in daycare means that someone doesn't believe that daycare is an acceptable choice for a child.[/quote]

Sort of a comeuppance for OP.  She thought that daycare was unacceptable, but I can't think of a daycare, even a bad one that would have been a worse choice than her own mother, the child's grandmother.  I actually know several friends and acquaintances who believe that grandparents are superior to daycare and from what they've told me, they are all wrong.  Every one of the grandparents use TV as a child care alternative, many of them feed their grandchildren less healthy meals than daycares and many of them allow and encourage poor disruptive behavior (several of these children are ones who hit, bite and throw objects at people and other children, which is discouraged in all of the daycares that I know).

While staying at home and raising your children is a valid choice, I have only rarely found situations where grandparents, even well meaning ones, do a good job raising their grandchildren.[/quote]
