Good for you! Thank you for all you do as a member of the military. How many of us realize that day care for children is another of the sacrifices you all make for us.
I suppose those who are so dead set against day care would prefer all moms stay home on welfare and socialized health care.
(And for all of you that wonder, I have been fortunate enough to be home full time with my kids since before day one. And yes, at one time I was self-rightous enough to judge every mom that hired a babysitter or day care. I realized there are lots of circumstances in this world, and thank God that I have been so blessed.)
Well, thank you, but I am not active duty any longer...I've been out for about a year now. :)
It makes me wonder too if folks who insist that mom's should stay home no matter would mind subsidizing that. Unless, of course, they think there should be income requirements for having a child. This attitude also fails to take into account women (or men, for that matter) who are single parents due to the death of a spouse, ect. They have no choice but to work. And some folks, let's face it...are not cut out to be stay at home parents. I suspect that that was always the case, as a matter of fact.
And, as everyone knows, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! LOL I know I am much more content as a stay at home mom than I was as a working mom, but that's not true of everyone.
