Me too. Babies and toddlers should be with their moms or other relatives. Ideally. (But of course many of do not live in an ideal world.)

And when kids reach school age, moms need to do something separate from their children. something that gives them their own identity and makes them strong and interesting. I'm sorry, but I know so many moms of school-age children who do nothing but gossip and fight to get their names on charity event committees - oh, and then they fight over table assignments at these events. It's pathetic, and they are terrible role models for their children. Also, signing your children up for twenty after-school activities a year so you can play an extra round of tennis each afternoon isn't really good parenting either. [/quote]

I'm amazed that there are so many people who have this idyllic fantasy about what every family should be and are very condescending and judgmental about anyone that doesn't fit their little white picket fence daydream.  What, are you still 14, and thinking about what motherhood "should be"?

Despite your sexist attitude that moms are the only ones who can care for their babies, there are some moms and grandmothers who are not very good at caring for their babies.  There are some dads that are good at it.  There are some parents who are just not well suited to being SAHP.  Every family has to decide what is best for them as a family.  Even WOH parents can make time to get that special bonding in with children.

And for each of your helicopter parents who fight to be involved with school events, there is another completely distant parent who can't even remember the last time they went to a function for their child.[/quote]

You don't read very well. First, I didn't say anything about dads not being good caregivers. This is a thread about daycare, and I was agreeing with OP's thoughts on daycare. I said that babies are best with their moms OR OTHER RELATIVES. Not in room for ten hours a day with 15 other infants.

Also, I didn't say or imply anything about helicopter parents, you nitwit .And I was not talking about school events. I wrote clearly that I was referring to charity functions. Not school functions.
