[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say, I was significantly more open to SAHP for my next child until reading this thread.  The train of thought that leads one to believe that it’s an absolute truth that SAHP is superior to daycare is so twisted and unfounded that it’s been a real awakening to me that it’s not a perspective I subscribe to at all. Imagine thinking the only way to do something well, is to be the only one doing it.  I alone can fix it!! The arrogance, self-centered ness, and unfounded confidence for people who have experience doing this, 0, 1, or at best 2 times in their lives?  They think this experience puts them as better than anything else? Wow!!

It’s funny because we moved to an area that a lot of posters on here love to put down.  But we have excellent early childhood education from 0-12 years old.  Apparently, all that big city living that you value so much comes with some drawbacks when it comes to finding quality child care?

There are so many ways to do things correctly!  Just because you picked something that works for you, doesn’t make it “best” or the “only”way or even better. It’s just the way you picked.

Unless you’re going to be able to produce a large population study showing kids who were the product of a SAHM have lower incidence of mental health, higher performers athletically, academically, and professionally, lower incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, and lower rates of committing crimes than kids who didn’t, I’m not interested in your theories.

It’s just a choice.  Stop being so damned insecure about it.  [/quote]

Lady, if you don’t want to stay home with your next kid then don’t.  If you do want to stay home, the stay home.

Stop expecting all the other women of the world to do your thinking for you.  Talk about insecure, JFC.[/quote]

Whoosh nothing.  Dummy said she was open to staying home before she read this thread, but has now decided every single SAHM on the planet is some combination of stupid/AH so now she’s maybe NOT going to stay home (probably stomped her foot, too) because she doesn’t want to be associated with the arrogant train of thought that might lead a woman to think she is the most qualified person to take care of the baby she grew in her own body.

Basically, this lady’s post was an incoherent, rambling, scattershot mess.  I don’t know how to approximate that sound, but it’s not something on target going over my head…[/quote]

She also thinks a 3 month old needs to be in an education center and that is better for their development than being at home with a loving caregiver they can develop a secure attachment to, and fewer people while their immune system develops. This is someone who knows nothing about child development. There are a few of those on this thread. [/quote]
