Today, the neighborhoods are eerily quiet - the kids warehoused in daycare.
a child's birthright is a parent in the home.
I was fortunate to be able to stay home with my boys for the most of their younger years, but found myself having to work after my little girl was born.
I went to one daycare after another, looking for one I could feel comfortable leaving her in. I would come home in tears, thinking I simply could not leave her in any of them
So I started my own day care - and had a ball. And made more money than had I been working an outside job and then had to pay dare-care on top of it.
She now has 3 little girls and she is a stay-at-home mom. And it shows...
...and the Dems just love Head Start and want to expand it to what - birth?
Good for you, and your daughter too!
Parents like you give the rest of us hope. :-)
I was a latch-key kid of the 60's and sooo needed my mother to be there for me. The situation wouldn't allow it (single mother) and I understood that. I vowed to do things differently. I'm a stay at home mother who home educates, and conducts a business from the home...and the whole family loves it!
This all ties into a subject which has gotten me into some spirited disagreements on this forum, just how is the standard of living now higher than in years past? I maintain that the true standard of living is actually falling. I don't see how you can say it is rising unless you measure it solely in how many bathrooms per person are available and other such measures, perhaps the abundance of color televisions available for viewing garbage? I could write a long essay on why I see the living standard as declining.
Way to go!
