[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been both: WOHM and SAHM. I'm incredibly fortunate to have a Mom who insisted in keeping her grandchildren when I did work.

Leaving my infant with a stranger does not sit well with me. When you add in a day care center where they won't receive individual care and attention...it's not happening. And having a nanny just leaves too much unaccountability  for behaving well towards my child. I'd rather go on welfare and/or move in with my parents than subject my child to that.

IMO, children should be with their parents and/or loving grandparents until preschool.

Good lord, you're a moron.[/quote]

Justify it all you want. Seeing infants stuck in a crib, playpen or highchair all day is heartbreaking. Young children should NOT be warehoused in daycare centers. [/quote]

A good daycare does no such thing.  Infants in a good daycare would be interacting with their teacher, playing on the floor, or with age appropriate toys, etc.  My daughters daycare also has a jumbo stroller and takes the kids out for walks all the time.

What should NOT be happening is insecure moms who have never had their child in daycare commenting on what happens in a daycare.  I bet you've never even stepped foot inside a daycare center.  But I guess it's easier to be a judgemental bitch than educate yourself.

I have family and friends who work in these settings. It happens. Blind yourself all you want but it happens. In fact, my sister just left a job at a highly regarded center because the lead teachers treated the infants poorly including spanking on the hand and roughly putting them in the crib when they cried.

Name the center or it didn't happen. [/quote]
