[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Free daycare isn’t the answer, long term parent leave is.[/quote] This. I’m so tired of people treating daycare, especially for infants, as some gold standard to which we should all aspire. Even the most loving daycare worker only has so many arms, and with multiple infants competing for her time, none of them is getting the absolute best in infant care. Western societies, especially, devalue stable family life and make production of goods and services the goal. So, instead of encouraging more family time, we’ve told ourselves it’s best to farm the children out to others so we can get back to “being productive.” As I get older, I realize I won’t be on my deathbed wishing I’d been “more productive” -society won’t be there to hold my hand, but hopefully, my family will.[/quote]
