[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya’ll be tripping. Your infant “thrived” in daycare? You mean got sick every couple weeks, cried when you left him/her, napped horribly, clung to you when you tried to leave, had a revolving door of staff (since the turnover rate of day care staff is 25 percent every year), spent way too much time in seated swings/chairs/bouncers, and got RSV, roseola, hand foot and mouth, and a bunch of other diseases you never heard of. Ok. I am going to keep saying it because I wish I had known, daycare for infants is awful. It’s just awful. You can lie to yourself to sleep at night but if you’re being honest with yourself you know your child would have rather been at home with you. Let’s not kid ourselves here, please. [/quote]

My kid had literally none of that happen. The daycare didn’t allow bouncers, he got sick literally once, and had the same caregivers the whole time.
 Stop mom shaming.  A nanny is a huge expense the majority of people simply can’t afford.[/quote]

She got sick literally once? Lol. My BS detector is going off right now. You’re clearly one of those selfish parents who pretends your kids cold/roseola/hand food and mouth/bronchiolitis is “just a little runny nose” and you dose them with Advil and send them to daycare to get the rest of the class sick. No effing way was your kid sick once, not a chance in hell is that true. [/quote]

Nope.  Literally once when he was an infant.  Kid never even had fever until he was 2 and a half.  He had diarrhea once that cleared up in one day.  Never had hand foot and mouth, never had a runny nose, never had a cough.  Didn't get an ear infection until after that same fever he had when he was two and a half.

My Dad's a pediatrician too, so I'm well aware of childhood illnesses.  I video chatted with my Dad all the time for things like diaper rash and one time when he had to get stitches (he fell at the park with us).[/quote]
