re: SAHM put kids in daycare?

its really not that big of a deal what other people do with their kids. they are safe and taken care of in day care, thats what should matter.

True, but me personally, I couldnt do it. But to each their own.

there are a lot of things other moms do that I could never... but it doesn't bother me.

like being a sahm. I couldn't do it. I need to get out of the house and my kids need their friends at day care. but I don't sit around and think other moms are ridiculous for their choices to stay home.

I guess thats just the first thing that popped in my head, yknow? Like, if your going to sit and watch tv while your kids are in day care all day, did they even want them in the first place? But I dont know what their situation is and I'm happy to stay at home with my LO, so whatever. lol

I send my kids to daycare twice a week. It's more for them than for me, though I do enjoy the time to myself. It's so they can enjoy playing with other kids and learn people skills.

You are trying to make the OP something it was not, you are infering a lot. Your situation is clearly different and in no way what the OP was talking about.

Guess I'm an awful mom then. My kid goes to preschool and I stay home and sleep or watch porn.

Who the HELL are you to wonder if someone wants/loves their kids because they don't parent the way you do?

Communication. Its from not being around other kids on a regular basis. Ever since they've been around other children, they speak better. My oldest will not sit and learn with me, she just can't focused. She's better stimulated in an environment with other children.

Yes. You weren't aware but she was the one who wrote the actual hand book.

My kids have always been in daycare. My 10 yr old since 3 months my 4 yr old since 1 month. And my 3rd hasn't started yet I'm on leave. But even though I am home all day they still went to daycare. 7 am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

They just recently stopped (last week) cause they both will be in school and I am off till January. But even when I was not working they went every day. I'm a single mom who works very hard even when I was jobless I needed time for myself. To find work and get schooling. Done I did it online.

Daycare has helped my kids learn a lot, to share be confident my 4 yr old is at a grade 1 learning level. I swear by daycare. I also lessons plan 1 HR a day too tho.
