[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Socialization is good
Stable finances in the home are good
I did have moments of feeling bad about it too - but when my oldest walked in to kindergarten very confident and ready, I realized some of that was thanks to daycare
In terms of daycare as opposed to nanny - this was pre-covid days for me, but I like the additional oversight.  YMMV.[/quote]

An infant doesn’t need socialization. [/quote]

They do and it can be provided at home or at a daycare.

If daycare were actually beneficial and good for a young baby, then rich women who don’t work would send their baby to one.  Except they don’t.  Daycares are a lower cost option for working parents.  There is a reason why wealthy educated people hire a nanny. [/quote]

Lots of wealthy educated people put their kids in daycare.  And a lot of people who use nannies do so for their own convenience, not because it's better for the baby[/quote]

LOL. No one who is wealthy uses daycare [/quote]

I guess it depends on your definition of wealthy.  I know lots of UMC families who do[/quote]

Yeah, I’m confused.  Maybe one percenters aren’t using daycare but tons of top 10% types do.  Managing a household employee isn’t for everyone.  I also can afford a nanny and prefer daycare, between the two.[/quote]

+1 sure like Uber rich people are not using daycare but we have plenty of biglaw parents etc at ours. Who could afford a nanny but prefer daycare (and surely others in their boat are making other choices which work best for them too). I preferred daycare over nanny as well -- more eyes on the children and the adults.[/quote]
