[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with his core premise—- it’s much better , in most cases, for a child to be raised by parents/grandparents vs daycare. Universal daycare is what is eww in this discussion. [/quote]

I do too.  Totally.

I would also like to point out that this audio is clearly edited... who knows what is spliced or missing.  And, it is an article from Salon, so that makes it even more questionable. 
Having said that, if advocating for having a grandparent assist with the care of a newborn infant is misogynistic, call me a misogynist.  I like when he pointed out that she could have just continued working and given some of her salary to help them out, but she chose to help with the care itself.  
And, I say this as someone who is currently in this exact position.... and I'm not Indian.  A grandmother who is lucky enough to help with the care of her grandchild during the critical first years of development.  I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  [/quote]

It's beyond telling that liberals are objecting to his point - that having a grandparent care for your kids is a wonderful thing.  My own mom did something very similar and we all benefitted from it.  My kids grew so close to her and didn't have to attend daycare.  Bonus all around.[/quote]
I mean, many millions of people have had help from grandparents for generations. Why is it a political stance now and why is it partisan? Why are Republicans even talking about this? If they're not talking about a policy decision related to it that could benefit families, then they just need to get off this subject. There are two wars going on and could they discuss health care, environmental or housing  issues, perhaps? Maybe choose not to be a guest on podcasts and shows that can't get beyond these family issues? They won't.[/quote]

Um… the podcast in question was recorded FOUR years ago.  Good grief.   :roll: [/quote]
