Re: Anyone else Anti- Day Care? Due to costs
Back in the 80's when I chose to stay at home with my kids, I had a LOT of flack about it, including that I was wasting my brains! I told people I considered raising my kids the most important and difficult job of my life. Sure we went without stuff and took longer to buy a house than most. But I still think I did the right thing. There weren't too many other parents at home during the day, so it got somewhat lonely. But funny thing is that I took more kids home after band practice, after they missed their buses, brought stuff to school that they forgot and couldn't reach their parents....I am glad I chose the path I took. It was not a popular path back then. I know kids whose parents worked and a few whose parents didn't. They are all great kids. I just did what I felt was best for me and my family.
