[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems as though I've come across a number of moms who say things like, "I don't believe in nannies" or "I would never let a non-family member watch my children" despite being in a HH where both parents work full time outside the home.  I'm genuinely curious (no judgment) -- if this is you, could you please explain why this is your philosophy? [/quote]

Children should be out socializing with other children. [/quote]

In a neighborhood that’s walkable to a park, the best nannies take the kids there all morning, have lunch, then take the kids home.  You get tons of socializing plus the recommended outdoor time from experts.  So I don’t think daycare is the only way to do this, but it could be neighborhood-dependent and obviously budget-dependent.[/quote]
Seeing kids at the playground who may or may not be there consistently from day-to-day is not the same as seeing the same kids in a daycare setting, having to share communal toys, eating together, answering to the same adult, etc.[/quote]
