[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My aunt was a SAHM and 3 of her 5 kids have criminal records.  My mother also stayed home and me and all of my siblings turned out well, no records, college educated, etc. Obviously it takes more than just having a SAHM for a child to turn out right.[/quote]

Well...obviously. But whoever seriously argues that being in daycare at 6 moths old for 8 hours a day (or even younger, or even longer...) is better for a child than being home with Mom or Dad is just delusional. Sure...some don't think they have any other option than to go back to work with their baby barely being born and that's what people argue here. You do NOT have to go back to work when your child is 3 months old. If you choose to, fine. But stop justifying your choice with made up reasoning. We all know you could have stayed home but chose not to.[/quote]

If there is a lot of fighting and issues in the home then daycare is 100% better.  Not all homes are equal.   Also I would never advise people to quit their job if they can't afford it.  Since you don't know everyone's financial situation, you can't really say what a person can or can't do.  You sound like a judgemental fool saying YOU know.  How do YOU know?  The truth is you don't know unless you do fortune telling on the side???

My 4 year old has been in daycare since 3 months old with a brief period of about 4 months off due to unemployment.  But she is a very happy kid.  My bff is a SAHM and our daughters hang out all the time.  I can't say which is better because I can't see any difference in our kids.  Both are very happy.  The only difference is my daughter can read pretty well but hers cannot.  Either way I'm confident both of our daughters will turn out well. [/quote]
