[quote=Anonymous]If so many children are being cared for by non-English speaking caregivers, then why isn't there a crisis in the DC area of American-born children entering kindergarten with broken English skills?

I don't think all those ESOL classes are full of daycare kids.

Wow, it's amazing how far some people will go in claiming daycare is awful in order to justify their own choice in how to raise their children.  If you are so pleased as punch with yourselves for being SAHM then just be happy with that.  Why are you trying so very hard to prove your way is better?

Plenty of SAHMs are well adjusted, educated, and secure in their life choices.  But wow ... some literally have nothing going for them so their entire identity is wrapped up in SAH.  My guess is that these are the SAHMs who cannot find a job that will cover the cost of quality childcare or who have absentee spouses so they are default single parents.  I feel sorry for your children that your entire self esteem is wrapped up in being a "better" parent than everyone else.  The same goes for working moms who get their self esteem from their career and tell SAHMs they are worthless.

To all you normal moms, this post isn't about you.  Most of us also have identities (hobbies, possibly careers, volunteer activities, loving marriages, etc.) and don't need to resort to shaming other moms to feel good about ourselves.  I wish we could start our own forum and kick out the zealots.[/quote]
