[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Full stay at home from 0-5 and then flex for elementary and middle school. I've seen way too many videos of stressed out daycare workers doing all sorts of awful things to little kids and the young ones aren't even able to tell you if anything happened. If you have the resources to have either a grandparent or a full-time nanny, that's great, but otherwise it's best to stay home with your child during that time. [/quote] Oh boy. [/quote] I actually agree though not for the same reasons. Years 0-3 are formative, 4-5 are pleasant. Being flex in elem and middle you can provide more downtime and better quality extracurriculars, have energy to get to know your child, and some relevance by keeping the job.[/quote] +1 And if someone is saying “oh boy” to wanting to be with their NEWBORN...then I’m going to give a bigger “oh boy” for a parent stepping aside from their work to suddenly SAH for a middle schooler! It makes no sense! Just to drive them around to practices and “play dates”? [/quote]
