[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m well past this stage but I do always think it’s worth pointing out that wherever SAH is now, it is in no way the traditional manner in which women and babies functioned in society for all of human evolution. I haven’t read everything so maybe someone already said this, but being home with only babies all day is clearly not healthy for women. Group care at early ages was almost certainly part of most humans upbringing until the modern era; yes, with blood relatives. Each option: SAH or daycare incorporates some elements of traditional care (which obviously shouldn’t be nostalgized as perfect either). We do have an overwhelming focus in parenting circles now on benefits for children, sometimes forgetting that parents are people too. [/quote] +1 I would have been much more open to SAH for a bit if it involved a community of friends and family around me. As it is, it is incredibly isolating and depressing.[/quote]
