[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]Seeing infants stuck in a crib, playpen or highchair all day is heartbreaking.[/b] Young children should NOT be warehoused in daycare centers. [/quote]

Once again - DUH.  I guarantee you no parent on this thread has a child in that situation.  [/quote]

Really? I'm sure their infants are in centers. [b]And that's exactly what they do.[/b] It's a numbers thing. There just aren't enough workers to cater to your child.[/quote]

You really have zero idea what you're talking about.  When my daughter was an infant she was in a day care center, and the only time she was in the crib was when she was sleeping.  When she had trouble sleeping, the workers held her and rocked her.  The only time she was in a high chair was when she was eating.  And they didn't even have playpens.  She spent the majority of her time on the floor playing with all sorts of toys, and interacting with the workers and other babies.  Sometimes listening to music.  Sometimes in the jumbo stroller when the weather was nice.

And I worked in the same building where the center was located and dropped by all the time, so I know this was the norm, and not a special thing they put on when they were expecting a parent.

Please get a clue.[/quote]

Did the center have cameras that allowed you to see this at every hour of the day? If not, it's absurd that you think you know what happens ALL DAY at a center. [/quote]

It's not absurd to believe that the circumstances I saw EVERY SINGLE TIME I CAME BY were representative of the care the day care provided generally.  The center had an open door policy and parents were in and out all the time (many worked in the federal building where the day care was located).  Do you honestly think they just ignored the kids and mistreated them when they knew a parent could come by at any moment? If so, I am so glad I'm not as paranoid and distrustful as you.  That would be a very hard way to live life.[/quote]
