[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister is here (lives in my hometown in Ohio) and she told me she noticed 3 of my friends talking about their infants "school." She was laughing and thought it sounded rediclous to call daycare school. She just thought it was a bit pretentious and over the top. I've never thought about it before but I guess the word daycare is fading out. Just a funny observation I thought I would share. It's now an inside joke. "O does baby Larla have a spelling test today." "She's probably tired from her chem final." [/quote]

It's a trying to seem important, rich person thing. I thought the same thing as some of my friends had kids in Manhattan and would CONSTANTLY be taking about their 6 month old or 1 year old's SCHOOL. Um -- it's called DAYCARE. It got to the point where lots of them were justifying ridiculous real estate decisions -- rents/mortgages they couldn't afford -- bc they couldn't move uptown/downtown/crosstown bc they just couldn't rip their 14 month old out of SCHOOL. Frankly the daycares encourage this -- referring to themselves as schools etc. bc it plants the seed in gullible rich parents' mind that this is a permanent commitment just like grades 1-12 will be, which means we can't possibly switch bc a new daycare opened, it's closer, better priced, whatever.[/quote]
