[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it doesn't.  You know a child is exponentially more likely to be harmed by a family meber tha a daycare worker, right?

It isn't luck.  And again, please show me one scrap of evidence that children who go to daycare don't do as well as other children.  There isn't any.

You keep rationalizing your choice by all means, whatever helps you sleep at night.  Daycare or no daycare, it is all the same if other variables are constant.[/quote]

My child doesn't know statistics. All she knows is that her mommy is there when she falls and gets hurt or when she's hungry for her milk. Not a complete stranger that is paid to "love" her and feed her on a schedule along with 4 other children (depending on the ration established by the state).[/quote]

It's all perspective - few things make me happier than seeing my daughter's bond with her day care teachers, and all the wonderful things she learns from them.  It also helps that I have worked in day care, and I know that day care teachers aren't just robots that turn off their feelings for children once they're off the clock.

Also, you do realize that once you get to know people they're not "complete strangers", right?  My daughter hasn't had a stranger care for her since her first day of day care.  Again, all about perspective - you seem to be afraid of strangers and the unknown.  Do what's best for your family, no one is asking you to do anything else. [/quote]
