[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a better mom because my kids went to daycare.  No guilt here.[/quote]

THIS.  I love my job (I am a high school teacher) and find it to be very fulfilling. This makes me happier and more grateful for the time we get together. It is also because I teach that I'm able to enjoy longer afternoons/evenings with my son, long breaks, and summer (though I work during summer at least part of the time).

Our son has been in the same daycare since he was 3 months old. We didn't want him to have to start that early, but given the dismal state of maternity leave in this country were left with little other choice.

His caregivers are incredibly kind, warm, loving women. They call him "precioso" and "my amor" and have from the time he started there. I'm also thankful that he has moved up through the infant, mobile infant, and toddler classes with many of the same kids who started when they were also three months old. In the mornings when I say "It's time to go to school - who will we see there?" he starts naming all of his friends and teachers.

I can't speak for my wife (I'm also a woman - same sex marriage) because I know she really, really wants to be able to stay at home. We just can't afford that right now....[/quote]
