Daycare Travesty Repeated Daily

” ... having read through all of this thread, some of your posts are just flat out offensive. stop being so sanctimonious and holier than thou.”

I am not being that way. Perhaps you have too much empathy for what is wrong in our society? Can you see why kids are entitlement driven? The parents are that way.

” ...we as parents do what is best for our families and you are no more an expert on what is best for some other family than the government is.”

I'm sure some do but what is “best for our families” is what is confusing you as you indirectly defend what is NOT “best for our families” by insulting me for pointing out what is WRONG.

” ... stop telling us that if we do not agree with your edict we are idiots and democrats. because, quite frankly, you sound quite like those loony liberals who demand that we agree with them or be vilified.”

So no one is supposed to say what is so WRONG with families? No one is supposed to point out that what folks advocate here is just what Democrats want for your family. So I sound “loony” because I am not a liberal. I should be vilified because I support what is right.

With all due respect, you're logic is twisted and you don't see it. I don't live in a “relative” world where “situation ethics” is the rule. If people started THINKING about what they are doing and the ramifications, we wouldn't have such broken families and a high divorce rate. All of this is part of our cultural decline. I'm sorry you don't want to hear that. It is the truth.

You may name call me. You may vilify me. You may use twisted liberal logic to suggest I am the enemy in speaking the truth but it is all for naught.

You will see me speaking up about the horrible education we have within our public schools with just as much vigor. I find them deplorable. That will probably dictate less name calling but most parents haven't got a clue because they are too busy working. They typically clueless. A few carry the water to try and force change that makes sense and again it is timeless common sense.

I will continue to speak out on both issues, family and education in spite of people like you that find it repulsive or harsh or want to read it some sanctimonious nonsense into what I am saying. It is not there and speaking for myself, I am not "holier than thou" and will not take the bait to defend myself.

I prefer to spend my time attacking the issues and not the person. When a person uses their personal life as part of the issue, then that must also be addressed. If what they are doing is wrong, and they volunteered it, then there is little choice in not stating what's wrong. I can't pretend I don't see what they write to justify what they are doing. It's typically a matter of selfishness, pride or materialism and this all fuels more entitlement minded kids with no respect for what is right. It's no wonder kids literally hate their parents and have no respect for authority. Parents today, typically just want to be their "friend". LOL!

Timeless truth is on my side and it speaks for itself even if people allow their FEELINGS to lash out at me for stating the truth. Some do get it and I have received many positive and encouraging e-mails. You see, some don't want to be targeted as you are doing to me. Heck, I don't mind, so fire away!

“... i am a stay at home mom. i do greet my kid when he gets off the bus, i ask about his day and i listen to his response. he does chores and earns his allowance. he is a very intelligent, responsible, kind , honest, and considerate fellow.
my little girl is 4 and i hope she turns out just the same as her brother.
all that being said, ...”

Interesting, you sound like a great mom!

Why in the world should another parent NOT be encouraged to do what you are doing? All I am advocating is the same for other families.

This exchange reminds me of the scenario where a Hollyweird actress was pregnant and she made it a point to be in a huge event that was PRO ABORTION. She was obviously pregnant but was “standing tall for the right of OTHERS to have abortions for any reason at any time. You see it was THEIR BODY and they had the right to do what they wanted - how selfish! The baby of course had NO RIGHT to be born. Forget that.

Later the same Hollyweird actress happily gave birth to a sweet baby and remained proud of her defending abortion. I wish I could remember the name of they hypocrite but I can't. The name really doesn't matter. It is her actions that mattered. What was RIGHT for her, was WRONG for others or maybe what was RIGHT for her was NOT RIGHT for others. If it would be wrong for her to have an abortion, why would it be RIGHT for OTHERS to have one? Don't bother to answer that. Just THINK about it. FEEL for the aborted little human being.

BTW, I doubt you would support abortion, so don't imagine that I am suggesting you are, I'm just using that as an example of what I think of your indignant reply to me.

“I prefer to spend my time attacking the issues and not the person.”
that certainly explains why you have referred to at least 3 people on this thread as an “idiot” or a “moron”.
you are in fact attacking people on this thread because they do not agree with your position.

“I’m sure some do but what is “best for our families” is what is confusing you as you indirectly defend what is NOT “best for our families” by insulting me for pointing out what is WRONG.”
i am not at all confused. this is a free country and NO ONE should have the right to tell other parents what they can and cannot do for their children.

“It’s typically a matter of selfishness, pride or materialism and this all fuels more entitlement minded kids with no respect for what is right.”
have you ever had the misfortune to be stuck in a situation where either both parents have to work or the family has no home, no food, and no future? other people have that issue and the only choice is to suck it up, use daycare and mom and dad both go to work. i know plenty of people who have that situation. they do the best they can, they do without simple necessities, and they still can’t pay the bill. their kids suffer too.
yes i said you were being sanctimonius. you insist that you are absolutely right and anyone, regardless of their circumstances, who disagrees with you is wrong and stupid and part of the problem.
there is a line in a very good book that goes something like this....”judge not.”
and just for the record.... i agree that kids today think they are entitled to everything they want as soon as they want it no matter what. i personally think that is caused by parents who spoil the kids and want to be their best friend.
and thank you for telling me i might just be a good mom. it was damned hard when my first husband died. our son was only 2 1/2yrs at the time and i was 30yrs old. i cut the budget and managed to keep everything together for quite a while. when i had to start paying for health ins. i got a job a christian daycare center (how’s that for ironic”) so i could take my son to work with me. it only worked for awhile and then i went back to being a stay at home mom. i did have to depend on social security’s survivor benefit but i managed.
i do not mean to belittle you or offend you. obviously you feel quite passionate about this issue. i only pointed out that in some instances you were name calling and accusing many of us of being liberal because we did not see the issue the same way. daycare really is not the only reason kids are turning out to be nitwits. lousy parents are part of the problem too, as is divorce, thats just my opinion. if you disagree i promise not to call you an idiot.:)
