[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in daycares during college. Until you spend all day/every day at them, you have NO WAY of knowing what goes on there when parents aren't around. [/quote]

Duh, says everyone.  That said, I'm pretty sure my spunky, happy kid who runs into his teacher's arms everyday isn't being abused.  If he is, shame on me.[/quote]

I have a kid in daycare. There is a huge continuum from "being abused" to "neglect leading to detergent swallowing" to "benign neglect" to "lukewarm supervision" to "acceptable engagement" to "well-cared for."  I think most of us are probably getting care for our kids in the middle range. [/quote]

This is reality. Daycare is not perfect care, hopefully it's safe care. If you are expecting daycare to be like Disneyland everyday, you are being unrealistic. [b]These people don't love your kids, they get tired and overwhelmed by the stress of the job day in and day out. Like you would[/b].[/quote]

I have never understood parents with kids in daycare who say that the teachers love their child. Do they really believe that? I never did. I always thought they liked my child enough but I was never fooled that they were working a job and that if they were not paid they would not spend one moment with my child. I like my clients but I have no interest in them beyond my work obligations. It is a job. No, daycare workers do not love our children. [/quote]
