[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work at a very rewarding, high pace and well paying job. I did very well.  Then we had a baby, and I put her into a nice daycare and went part time.  But the hours didn't really slow down, I just did some of it remotely for less pay.  It soon became apparent that in order to maintain my hours and for my husband to maintain his (he did not have the option to go part time) we would need a nanny or an any pair and I couldn't do it and this is why.  My two younger siblings were severely molested for years by a member of our extended family who is now in jail for 70 years.  This man ruined their lives, my brother still can't get his life together and my sister weighs 300+ pounds, and that's just the start of he issues.  It's heartbreaking, infuriating, and all around terrible.  I feel incredibly responsible still today because I didn't know and was in college then and wasn't around to protect them.   Yes, I've been in therapy for this. And no I am not a hyper helicopter parent.  But, when presented with the opportunity to stay at home, I took it. Judge me all you want.  But I will never regret my decision. If you have lived through what happened in my family you would understand. But I don't tell anyone, not even my kids know. [/quote]

+1.  That's one of the biggest problems.  People who were abused or are close to someone who was abused just can't trust a stranger with their child.  I prefer my mother/husband take care of the child if I'm unavailable.  I don't trust strangers with my baby. It's just not going to happen except in rare situations.  [/quote]
