My husbands brother has 3 kids. They are 6, 4, and 2. His wife used to work, but doesn't anymore. The 2 oldest are in school, and they are keeping the 2 year old in daycare " Because she knows that enviroment" So...Its better for them to pay for her to be in daycare while her mom is a SAHM?? Her mom watches the neighbors kids alot...But all her kids are gone during the day?? What do you think about parents who have a stay at home parent having their kid in a daycare??
I think its that parents issue.
If they can afford it what's the big deal and if they can't then that's their issue....either way no skin off my nose.
I wouldn't do it but that is me. My aunt did daycare in her home and for a while had to send her kids to daycare because of behavior issues with her kids in regards to the other children that were in her home.
In this day and age most people are.
Quoting southernjess3:
they are in some debt..
Personally, i think it's wrong (wrong as in I wouldn't do it but have no say in how others go about it), but that's JMO.
Why would you choose (if you chose) to be a SAHM and yet not stay at home with your children?
My MIL did this and it drove me crazy, she would be unemployed (by choice), her BD would SOMETIMES work (if he didn't quit because of one reason or another) and she would stick her one child (then about 2) in daycare all day, everyday, and sit at home doing nothing. This was before AND after she had her last child (now 5 months, her other child is now almost 4), she has now gone back to work, but (when being a SAHM) would CONSTANTLY talk about how she wasn't the "mothering type" (note, she has five children, the oldest three she abandoned when they were 14, 11, and 5) and how she "couldn't wait until (her 4th child) went back to daycare on Monday" she would have him in daycare for 12 hours a day, then drop in the rest of the time.
Personally if i could stay home with DS he wouldnt be in daycare until he was 1.5 or 2 and it would only be for 2 or 3 days a week. Being in daycare can teach them a lot of different things (social skills, sharing, independence etc) so i think its important. but he certainly wouldnt be there all day everyday if i was home.
I think its pointless and she doens't need to be called a SAHM, cause her kids aren't even home. More like unemployed mom IMO. If they are strugggling then whydon't she go get a job since she isn't takin care of her kids at home thats JMO to each their own but it does sound pointless
I dont think any thing. It' s not my bussiness or my life , Why would I waste time even thinking about what someone else does, Why do we women have to find something to judge about ,? Why does it matter? Maybe that mom is planning a home based or working a homebased business. Maybe she is volunteering , Maybe she has an illness .
And to a PP who are you or any of us to say anothers choices are wrong ?
Women are to damn judgemental ! and nosey
