You are not alone. I've heard from parents all over the world, some with serious questions about abuse and neglect, others just trying to understand how to obtain the best possible care for their children. I don't believe that all mothers were meant to stay home with their tykes. I don't believe that, as mothers we must condemn ourselves to lives of wiping drippy noses and dirty tushies.
Some Moms have to work.
Others choose to work. Some stay home with their children and choose daycare a tool for socialization. Everyone needs a babysitter once in a while, and all of us deserve great childcare.
