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.

Do you not understand how this sounds? My mother was available to take care of my kid so that's what I did and I could go back to work guilt-free…the rest of you can go eff yourselves. My husband makes a ton of money so I could quit my job and stay home…the rest of you can go eff yourselves.

No one cares what you think, because you're a smug bitch. [/quote]

You missed where I said I've also SAH...on my DH'S then $60k salary . It can be done but folks don't want to make the true sacrifices to make it happen. It's unfortunate.[/quote]

Do you know what other people's bills are to say it can be done?  For all we know you ran up a bunch of credit card bills.  Just because you are okay with being a welfare queen doesn't mean other people want too. [/quote]

Again, it can be done but it takes sacrifices. Most aren't willing to make them. [/quote]

And that's fine, unless you are a narcissist you should have no problem with the fact that we are not all the same and people have different ideas about what they want for their families.  [/quote]

Hey, make whatever choice you want. Doesn't mean I can't think it's a terrible one. IMO, if you can't afford to care for your infant yourself, you can't afford the child and are no better than the welfare queen. Only, she might be better. At least she's caring for her own child. [/quote]

You can think whatever the hell you want as far as I'm concerned.  I pay for all of my child's things out of my own pocket along with my husband and I'm very proud of that.  We don't look to the government or anyone else to fund our lifestyle unlike yourself.  I think people like you should be on birth control.  What if your husband loses that little job of his or dumps you.  I guess you'll just lap it up in a life of luxury on welfare or bum off of your parents who are probably on a limited income themselves I would bet. [/quote]

I mentioned welfare as the extreme of what I'd do to stay home. It never came to that. I've worked and do now, but on my own terms. We're not rolling in the dough, but being there for my children is more important than money.

The problem is that folks have gotten so used to outsourcing, that it's become the norm to only see your children 2-3 hours a day. To put a NEWBORN in a daycare setting. That's amazingly sad. [/quote]

I'm there for my child and I still make money.  My child was in daycare from 3 months on until up.  Guess what she is a smart, happy, and well adjusted child.  She plays piano, tennis, and does ballet.  We have no behavior issues from her.  And we did it all without relying on grandma or the taxpayer.

Obviously your mom failed with you because she raised a nasty, judgemental troll for a daughter. [/quote]

Nowhere do I state that daycare kids will turn out bad. Only that infants in daycare centers is a sad sight. Justify it all you want but sticking a newborn in a daycare center so Mom/Dad can go to work to make themselves feel important is pathetic. [/quote]

Well I disagree.  You can try and bash it all you want to make yourself feel better, but there is nothing wrong with daycare.  Obviously you feel the need to bash the choices of others because your own life is sad and pathetic.  [/quote]
SOME daycares abuse/neglect the children. Still think there's nothing wrong with SOME daycares? You're effing crazy and maybe even an abuser.[/quote]

And SOME SAHMs abuse/neglect their children as well, and YOU'RE crazy if you think they don't. There are good and bad day cares just as there are good and bad SAHMs. It's ridiculous to categorically label either one as good or bad. [/quote]
Here's a little secret for you. It's more likely for an UNrelated person to harm a child than for a relative to harm a child.[/quote]

Is it a secret because you're the only one who knows it? Show me some stats because I SERIOUSLY doubt this is true. [/quote]
Nope. You aren't worth my time.[/quote]

Oh, so you can't? Because they don't exist? That's what I thought. Have a good night. [/quote]
You may keep throwing your babies to daycare, ok?[/quote]
