Daycare Travesty Repeated Daily
Blogspot ^ | 8/12/2010 | eRtwngr

Posted on 08/12/2010 8:30:15 AM PDT by eRtwngr

My wife left her job when we had our first child and has been home for the birth and rearing of all 7. Has it been hard at times? Do we sacrifice some things? Sure. But isn't that what marriage and family are supposed to be about in the first place?

What kind of rude, self-centered drones are we thrusting on the world? Ones whose first memories are that their parents didn't love them enough to spend time raising them.

“So we should have aborted our child since we both work?
Nice . . .”

I NEVER said that.

You know, I am sorry for you that YOU would come up with THAT for a SOLUTION. It only DRIVES MY POINT HOME! Abortion is a totally SELFISH act. Totally!

Is it remotely possible for you to consider anyone else but YOURSELF? Did it ever occur to you, that a baby or a child would WANT YOU THERE to raise them? Can you ever get beyond yourself? EVER? Or is your solution always SELF CENTERED?

You could scale back. Yes that would mean LESS MATERIAL THINGS. Oh, never mind. MONEY and your lofty style of living are MORE important than a little HUMAN BEING. It is people like you, that disgust me to no end.

Don't be surprised when you don't know your child. Join the chorus of, “how could that have happened ... my child wouldn't do that ...”. These outsourced kids are mostly TOXIC kids. They are increasingly out of control. Trust me, the "village isn't raising your child." The "village" could care less about your child. It is the parents that are supposed to raise their children. Then again, Demoncrats don't see it that way.

Children don’t care about such things as foreclosure. An apartment or smaller home is fine with them as long as they have love.

“Sounds like someone hit a nerve.”

Yes. Selfish GUILT.

This person has more in common with Demoncrats than they know. This is no “conservative”. Conservatives raise their own kids and don't outsource them to a bunch of uncaring LIBERALS to raise them.

In this area, an apartment in a neighborhood where the murder rate is somewhere less than Baltimore’s costs as much as we’re paying in a mortgage.

Actually, that’s one reason we’d like to flee this area - so we CAN live in a decent neighborhood on one salary.

Also - a foreclosure on my credit report in my line of work might mean perpetual unemployment.

I’ve heard all the psychobabble about how daycare kids are more rounded than stay at home kids. Each year when we put another kid in Kindergarten they offered programs to “catch my kids up”. And each year they were amazed how far ahead my kids were - able to read and write, draw and color within lines, kind and caring, toilet trained, happy, well adjusted.

Daycare superiority is a myth proposed by the industry and government. Nothing substitutes for a family, parents and siblings.

My next article will be about single child families. I’ll want to post that one in English and Chinese.

And I do say in my article that there are some circumstances where daycare is unavoidable. But it should be a goal to avoid it. Sounds like you share that goal. Peace and best wishes.

Funny they mention abortion, even though your post never mentioned it or even alluded to it.

Sounds like projection to me. Maybe inwardly regretting having the children, and the burden imposed, in the first place, but ashamed to admit it, or the thoughts of "alternatives" and what might have been.

“That brush is so broad I think you just erased a crater on the moon.”

No, it's not. The end result of outsourcing your kids is the same. You can not honestly deny that truth. Like others, you don't like the truth.

BTW, why don't you vote for Democrats? They see it the same way. I would be viewed as an “extremist”. Demoncrats want pre-k to be part of the government schools. Why? So more people can dump them off. Demncrats WANT you to work. They need your tax dollars to SPEND on others other than yourself! Make sure that happens!

Yes, for those “single parents” many do have to work. Had they made wiser choices, they wouldn't be single parents. Yes, I know, people don't want to hear that either. Somehow that is MY fault their live in situation or marraige didn't work out. It just goes on and on and on. It always comes down to LACK of individual responsibility and pure selfishness.

Good luck having the “village” raise your kids because you can't part with the money. Never consider putting a child above money and sacrificing a little to give them what they truly need - love and your precious time.

Yes, flame away !

It's just an EXTREME way to vilify me, and them FEEL self righteous because “at least they didn't have an abortion”. NO, I NEVER, EVER suggested abortion is the answer. All they did was highlight THEIR EXTREME SELFISHNESS and total insensitivity to little HUMAN LIFE.

No, you should have signed up for food stamps, subsidized housing, heat-aid fund, etc., etc..so one of you could quit working (NOT my belief, but seems to be the message of many FReepers on this thread).

Relax and go save the world tomorrow. . .

Are you saying I could get paid to stay home and set a good example for my child?

“Someday we hope to do that, but as of now it’s not possible. I can’t imagine that the best thing for my child is our home going into foreclosure.”

Perhaps you could scale down to something you could more easily afford. There is no shame in doing that. Your child will be taught a valuable lesson as well. Always live within your means. Truly this is admirable. It will give you peace.

Why live beyond what you can afford now to impress people you probably don't even like? Why? Think about it. Good people, don't judge you by what kind of a house you live in. Those that do, stay clear of - they are not your friends.

Truly they only grow up ONCE. Yes there will be days where you will tear your hair out. But then there are the days of pure joy - when you see your hard work of raising them pay off. It happens and carries you over those tough days.

A compliment I received, although my daughter didn't realize it was to hear her say, I really wanted to do (something wrong) and I didn't. I heard YOUR VOICE in my head telling me not to do it and I didn't. It wasn't anything serious but I was so pleased that I had a positive impact on her. I had to hide my joy ... because we are in the teenage years ... . I silently said in my mind, “Thank you Lord.”

Do you think relying on public aid is a good example?

If your wife stayed home, why did you put the kids in kindergarten? Does hitting five years old magically make all the daycare negatives go away?

I was a volunteer leader with the jr high kids at my old church for many years. Had many kids who were homeschooled. I also heard all the same phsycobabble. I'd put my homeschooled kids up against public school kids anyday.

Why is it the "experts" always tout these so called "facts", and yet deny all the statistics and news headlines about daycare or schools?

Funny, the same group of experts will then be on tv, talking about the failings of the public system, and how they need more money.

If the public system is failing and needs more money, why would a parent put their child into a proven failing system????
