[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind the cost savings, but I think that's a terrible reason to keep your kids home.  We'll be sending my younger child back to daycare in August if we feel it's safe. She needs the social interaction.[/quote]

Really?  Aren't finances a huge factor in just about everything most of America does (or doesn't do)?  [/quote]

Sure, but it's pretty awful if your wallet is more important to you than your childs mental health.[/quote]

Yup--this is a false dichotomy, and my kid has a sibling.  They're spending more time together than ever.

Do SAHMs harm their children's mental health?  Is spending gobs of money on childcare the only way your children socialize?  Be more creative![/quote]

+1 we let our kids play with 4 other kids in the neighborhood all day long like I did growing up. I’m loving their looong days of hanging in the yards and thinking of new games together. They work out their squabbles without parents getting involved and watch out for each other. I’m so thankful we chose location over house. We live in a cape, which is smaller than I could afford, in an amazing, close neighborhood. [/quote]
