[quote=Anonymous]It's silly if the person is trying to imply that people who use childcare do not "raise" their kids. Of course they do. They raise their kids though they also work with their childcare provider on this. The childcare provider is definitely also raising the kids. So it's understandable to me if they are talking about just wanting to not share that experience with a hired provider. Some people really enjoy the early years and they don't want to miss certain things or let someone else experience those things with their kids while they're at work. Also some people have really mediocre child are options. If all you can afford is a not-great daycare where you don't feel the providers are going to approach their role in helping raise your kid with the attitude you'd hope, then youight choose to stay home. But you might make a different choice if you had access to a really high quality care provider. Not everyone does though. Working parents are of course raising their kids but they are also outsourcing portions of the work to someone else (the choice of that someone else is part of them raising their kids). Both things are true at once.[/quote]
