[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer here. That was not me ( the post you thought was mine). I'm not doing two threads. [/quote]

Whoops, yeah, I think I was mixing two different posts together in my response.  But, what I said applies to you.  You are truly clueless if you think most of us (on DCUM) could magically become single earner families if we "made some lifestyle changes".  You are unbelievably fortunate.  If we want to provide the best for our kid, that means he goes to daycare for a few years before he starts school.  BUT, that also means I can afford to send him to preschool and maybe a great private school, and then, hopefully college.  That would not be happening if I quit my job.  No way no how.  Not unless I or my DH became an absentee parent.  That is the reality that most of us area dealing with.  We are better parents because we both work. Is my daycare person "better" than I am at parenting my child?  No, because she doesn't parent my child.  She is extremely knowledgeable, very skilled with infants, has taught me to be a better parent, and I trust her with my child's life.  I can honestly say that my child is just as well-off spending time with her and a few other kids every day, than he would be if I were caring for him.  You implied many times that a daycare provider who isn't as educated as you (and is brown to boot) can't care for your child as well as you can on your own.  You are completely wrong.  If that were the case, then why is it that children of families with two professional parents tend to be so successful?[/quote]
