[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your best money spent will be on one parent staying home FT until school starts.[/quote]

Disagree.  [b]I think the most crucial time for one parent to be at home is when your child is in middle school.  [/b]Their peers have become far more influential then; their hormones are going crazy; and those are the years that they can get into really bad stuff.  Being present is essential then.[/quote]

I totally agree with you.  If you look at a bunch of 4-5 year olds, there is no way you would know which of them was in daycare, had a SAHM or had a nanny.  The important thing is that they be given quality childcare, but you can find that in any of those settings (and in any of those settings, you can also find that the care isn't so great).

But I think moms in general are fooling themselves if they think it is more important to be home during the baby years.  Anybody who has an older kid will tell you that this just isn't the case.[/quote]
