[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean hey if you think your infant spending 10 hours in a linoleum floored room with 10 other babies and underpaid, undereducated, rotating staff is better than you or your partner then maybe they are.

No one ever talks about the dads that have historically been left out and excluded from time and bonding with their kids because they had to be the sole means of support. No one is saying anyone should stay at home forever but in the early years you are building the foundation of your relationship with your child, bonding and building trust. One would think somebody related to the kid would want to be there to provide that if they were able.

Reminder, you can't have it all. No one does. All the meaningful things in life require sacrifice. The kids are not ok RN and everyone is pointing fingers everywhere but refusing to look in the mirror. [/quote]

You can bond and build trust without being the sole caretaker of your baby. I have a nanny and my baby loves her and that doesn't change anything about my own relationship with my baby. I'm sure you'll say, well that's better than daycare. I would agree with that but maybe if you find a good daycare where there isn't a lot of turnover and the teachers are caring and the classes are small, then the teachers can probably bond and build trust with them as well. I think your'e oversimplifying things when you're suggesting that a baby needs to spend all of his time with a blood relative. [/quote]
