[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you feel so strongly about the {poor} quality of childcare in our country...why don't you do something about it?

Why don't you open a daycare center that embodies your philosophy (parent led care).  Instead of judging, why don't you DO SOMETHING HELPFUL FOR SOCIETY.  Support the people that make your world go round...the grocery checker, the librarian, the policeman/woman, the elementary school teachers, the church receptionist, the sales associate at Nordstrom, the insurance adjuster, the nurse...my son's daycare is at a church.  The church believes that all working parents should be cherished, supported, and confident that while they are out putting food on the table (and gasp- finding professional fulfillment), our child is well cared for.

Honestly, I don't know what I am doing as a parent...and I am so glad that I have help in raising my child.  [/quote]

I never said I don't need/have help raising my child and why are you assuming I'm not doing anything?

Lots of assumptions going on here...

Anyway, it was your choice to have children and it was your choice to leave them behind (if you left them) so why does my opinion matter?[/quote]

Ok, so what helpful contribution are you making to society...well, other than raising your kiddos (which we are all doing)?  Do you volunteer? Donate? Encourage? Support?

Your opinion matters, OP.  Maybe not to me on a personal level...but it does matter.  Why would you assume that it doesn't?

Do you really think I have left my children behind?  yes, I work...yes, my child goes to daycare...I love my child in ways I can't even begin to express.  But, I also have responsibilities and debts.  What do you suggest that I do?  I am really sad that you think children in daycare are "left behind".  My feelings couldn't be more opposite...I feel grateful, happy even, that I am able to provide my child with a safe environment full of fun experiences while I contribute to our community. [/quote]
