[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way in h*ll would I attempt to tell a new mom that there was only one "right" way to parent and that was My way.

I know what works best for me and for my dh and for my children.  That's it.  Other parents are certainly just as capable to figure out what will work best for their families.

Sometimes we might have strong opinions about why we chose what we did.  Sometimes we might even feel defensive about our own choices and feel the need to tout how wonderful our choice is to other people.  Don't.

Quality daycare (or SAH, or grandparents watching the grandkids) is most absolutely a perfectly legitimate option.  And it might be the ideal option for some families.[/quote]

No one is disagreeing with you - especially the PP in question since both of her kids are in daycare.  She is saying that daycare for a shy sensitive little guy who has been home with a loving nanny for his entire 23 months on the planet should not be thrown into daycare now just to toughen him up!!!  I am so surprised that any mother would debate that!  [/quote]
