[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who abhor daycare, has it occurred to you that when you need emergency medical care for your child - and it has or will happen to all of us - the medical personnel who take of your family probably had their children (at some pint) in daycare?  [/quote]

I'm the poster called a cunt. I never said women should be hidden in the house forever after having children. My point is that women should be encouraged to stay home with their infants and toddlers until they're ready for social interaction and craving this kind of stimulation. A 6mo old does not need that.[/quote]

A six month old doesn't need much besides a loving, consistent, caring environment.  They can get that in daycare.

And, finally, that was not your point.  At all.  Your point was that families that use daycare are not raising their children.  You said it several times.  Care to retract? [/quote]

OK so why you all get so upset when your baby cries because they were taken from the daycare lady's arms? You all are scared they won't love you anymore, they won't know who mom is, etc...

I'm not retracting anything. My point is, women who drop their kids off in the morning and take them back home at dinner time are not raising their kids. It's a shame that such an advanced society in such a rich country doesn't value those first years of the child's life. [b]Women should be encouraged to take a break to stay home with the child. That is my point and will always be.[/quote][/b]

You do realize this is impossible for many women?  Here on DCUM, yes, there are many women who CHOOSE not to take a break from their careers to stay home, and that choice should be equally respected, but your argument is rarefied at best.  Most women with children MUST work.  There is a roof to keep over one's head and food to put on the table.  Until the old white men who run things in this country (yes, I'm talking about Congress) institute social change, your point is moot. [/quote]
