[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised by two full-time working parents. Mom put in 40 hrs/week M-F and spent 2.5 years working all day Saturdays while she wrote a book and we had movie day with Dad. I'm a 4th generation working mom and I LOVED my childhood. If you're assuming your kids will spend all of the after school hours missing you, you probably didn't have a working mom, right? Or you didn't have many friends as a child? Those of us who actually grew up as the children of these kinds of mothers know how wonderful a family life can be with two working parents. I choose to work because I know it's best, not just for our bank account, but for my child. If you doubt that, then go for a different decision. That's fine and I'm sure that can work out great too. But you're making a straw man argument - the notion that daycare harms kids was debunked in the 80s. If you want to keep arguing it, feel free but there's no evidence to back you up. [/quote]

[b]And I was raised by two working parents as well.[/b]  Spent my summers and after schools in daycare- and I wanted nothing more than to spend my summers running around the neighborhood with the rest of my friends, playing in the woods alone with no adults in sight, biking, etc. or just come home and have freshly made cookies by mom, time to veg out alone, etc.  The type of childhood people always dream of.  [b]Sure, I had fun at camps and no I was not permanently damaged,[/b] but I really longed for that classic, carefree childhood.
