[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer PP here. I am not saying that my JD prepared me for child rearing. I am saying that the same qualities that made me successful at my career make me a good mother. I have been good at school, sports, well, most things, my whole life, and suspect many of the DCUM working moms are the same way. I am good at learning things, a hard worker, like doing things the right way without short cuts, etc.  That is what makes people successful in all areas of life. Why on earth I would believe that the (maybe) high school graduates who do not speak English as a first language would be *better* at taking care of my kids who are learning to speak, think, etc., is beyond me, so when people say that of themselves, I cannot understand it. I understand what your preference is, but please stop acting like despite being a straight A student, varsity athlete, obtaining multiple degrees, speaking multiple languages, etc., like all of the successful and competent moms out there, you just would be doing junior a disservice if you tried your hand at child care.

Ugh.

Yeah, lawyer here.  My daycare provider actually does know a TON more about teaching infants and young children skills than I do.  She is amazing. I don't have a mother who could teach me even HALF of what she has taught me about childcare and infant development...that's her profession after all.  I'm the one who carried him for 10 months, nursed him, pumps milk for him, takes care of him when he's sick, when he's up in the middle of the night, when he has to go to the doctor...I'm the one making choices for him that will affect him for the rest of his life, including who will teach him.  My daycare provider is part of a larger equation, stop insulting her and me with your bigotry and ignorance.

I work because it's what's best for my child and my family.  The end.[/quote]
