Do shutup you reactionary pretentious windbag. Its a dual income society now. This is a 1 and 100 million case. Go back to your Amazon rain forest tribe and raise your kids how you want.

Guilty, much?

It's the truth. Clearly you're uncomfortable enough with it to go immediately for an emotional ad hominem.

Btw, I did raise my several children "how I wanted." They're all grown up now. All productive citizens. No substance abuse, no tattoos, no unemployment, no "gender" confusion, no debilitating psychological problems from being dumped in daycare.

complete freaking clueless idiot....

Me reactionary first? read your post you pretentious know it all.

You have some nerve calling 10s of millions of working parents irresponsible for sending their children to day care and/or pre school.

Our children had wonderful educational experiences in day care and preschool.

I had to work for many of the years my child was young. Wished I didn’t have to. Said child survived and is all grown up as well.

You "raised" several children where - in a barnyard?

My wife and I had the pleasure of rearing 4 tremendous children. All 4 of our kids were in early learning day care and pre-school, prior to attending public school elementary through high school. We are both science-based professionals. My wife joined the consulting firm I established 21 years ago when the first kids entered high school.

The 2 older boys were both Eagle Scouts and entered US Marine Corps. Honorably discharged, both completed college after service and both are gainfully employed in their professions: one is an environmental health and safety specialist and one is in executive recruiting .

Both younger daughters completed their undergrads, one has obtained her Masters from Sotheby's in London, and works in an East Asian boutique art gallery on Central Park, and the other is in cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering, both sharing an apartment on the upper East Side NYC.

All happy, well-adjusted, accomplished, clean, and drug free.

My wife and I feel guilty for nothing.

I can spot somewhat-lesser accomplished, self-righteous posers like you from a mile away. You have helped yourselves to sitting in judgment of people like my wife and me and my kids for years, but we're all happy, healthy, debt-free, and perhaps with any luck someday you all will be too.

FReegards!

We have a Daycare a couple of blocks away. I see people driving new BMW’s and high end SUV’s dropping off the little ones on their way to Work. I always chuckle about that. People spend what they make, or vice versa.

We do live in an expensive Town where Homes go for an average of $650,000, so I guess it’s make the House Payments versus spending the day with your Kid.

Not my place to judge since we don’t have any Kids. Just stating the obvious. Life is full of choices.

I know people who live in Mississippi and they pay to send their Kids to Private School instead of the Public Schools, and for good reason.

They will sacrifice living in a big House and driving a newer Car to be sure their Kids are educated. They do whatever they need to do, period.
