[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that at the end of the day it all depends on your experience with daycare. I was raised by a SAHM but then my parents got divorced and she was forced to get a summer job to save money in between first and second grade. I hated daycare. The schedule was repetitive, there was nothing to do, and I missed my mom. Because of that I don't have the best view of daycare and think kids are better off with one-on-one time with a trusted adult who can take them places to break up the day, like the library or the children's museum. People who grew up in daycare might have better experiences than me which would lead them to re-create that experience for their kids.

I'm the PP above with the athlete and I had a SAHM. My goodness, my child would have been miserable with your library and children's museum schedule. I know, actually, because at one point I stayed home and tried that for awhile (because of a job change) and he just seemed deflated. Visiting the museum with me was nowhere near as fun as running around with his friends.

Different kids, different experiences. [/quote]
