Does this woman have children?
I got my law degree and passed the bar while I was pregnant with my first child. I went to a daycare center And they had little cribs all next to either other. It looked like a jail.
I just couldn’t do it. I stayed home with my babies. Lots of opportunity costs...But I hope they are the better for it.
I am sure they are better for it. I was the same way when it came to leaving my children in a daycare so I stayed home with them until the youngest got into first grade. It was difficult financially but now that they are grown with children of their own I know it was one of the best thing I did for them.
This woman claims all women should be ‘forced’ to work....I’d say being a stay at home mom is WORK.
I pity parents who have to drop their kids off like that; here in NJ it is very common because the cost of living is too high. I’d rather be poor; my wife works part-time even now that the kids are teens, and when they were born she took long leaves. Thankfully we had family to care for the kids when she was unable to; she wouldn’t have worked at all if we didn’t (and she welcomed the chance a couple of times a week to have adult interaction).
This situation is having a disastrous impact demographically.
I had a similar experience. Went to one daycare center, and looked into a room where there were small children, in cribs in a room all of them waiting for their 2 minutes of interaction with someone changing their diaper.
I was there when my first born laughed for the first time. I saw her pull herself up for the first time. I waited for the first step, and was there to see it. I heard her first word.
They are this young for such a short period of time, that to miss out on watching them grow is a shame. Especially if it is just because some feminist tells you that what you are doing doesn't matter. It matters. Children raised in their home, by their own, marrried, parents do better in all the metrics of life that can be measured.
