No, I don't think sahms are above that at all.

but that works on the assumption that the kids catch both the parent and the othercarer at their best, rather than catching them both at their worst. ;)

wow, what kind of housing do average working people (say a police officer/teacher combo) live in?

Yes, you do seem a little confused. Stating emphatically that mothercare or parentcare is best or better is most certainly implying a universal benefit to SAH, because it would "save" the child from all those other kinds of care, defined as inferior by that first statement.

Your post 535:

"I shared those concerns when mine were younger and pre-verbal. It's also the idea that the caregiver will tsk, tsk my kids' concerns; listen to them but give them an eye-roll and a "How ridiculous" in response; lack understanding or sympathy in potty training or teething. It was some of the things I'd heard and seen caregivers do over the years that were neither neglectful nor abusive, but somewhere in between."

That is your standard?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but my feeling isn't that I am saving my daughter from the perils of othercare which would definitely be dreadful, it is that in my care I know exactly what standard of care she is receiving, which may not always be perfect but it is a known quantity, whereas in othercare I would have high hopes that it would always be good and would do everything I could to insure that, but that

Actually, it's ridiculous to think that all day cares operate in any one way.
