[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing more challenging or important than the formative years of infancy to 3. I think all you that outsource care during those years but need to be home while they are in third grade are such a lazy bunch.[/quote]

Kids will not remember you being home 0-3, but they will remember if you are home elementary-high school.  Kids need you more, not less.  They may be able to do more for themselves but they still need, want active and involved parents.  You are lazy to think you can just stop parenting older kids.  I didn't find the 0-3 very challenging and I had a special needs kid with lots of therapies so I had no choice but to stay home.  I find the need is far greater later on.  But, maybe if your kids don't want you around, its you.  Mine want me at every school party, concert, any activity they do, etc.[/quote]

Kids don’t remember 0-3, but their brains develop more during this time period than literally any other time in their lives! It’s seriously the most crucial time to connect with, teach, interact with, develop your child. Plus I will point out that a child can advocate for him or herself and rattle in a nanny or unsafe daycare situation more reliably after 3. Thank God for video cameras. [/quote]

Video camera's are not a substitute for parents.  My child couldn't speak at age 3.[/quote]
