Ok. You still invented her position. Nobody ever said that frustration was the only cause. Well, besides you.

It's all about outlasting the kids,lol. I find it much harder as they get older.

If you can't think of any direct benefits to your children then you've never spent 10 minutes in a daycare. No one else can possibly devote the time, attention, and love to your children that you will. By staying home with them you are letting them know that they are your priority. That you can go without $100 highlights in your hair, a Denali, and 200-channel cable tv in order to spend the most important time of their life bonding with them, teaching them, and forming them into good people. I'm sure some daycares are better than others but overall, when there are between 5-10 children per each adult, your children will lack the attention they deserve and require. Think about it - could you sufficiently watch, love, and care for 5-10 children at a time? Children in daycares are attention starved which is why many of them act out when they are with their parents... to get attention.

p.s. I've heard from several people that their young babies were set in a swing all day and told "they were so good. they didn't cry so we left them in the swing all day". Frightening.

She did nothing of the kind, nor did she suggest that frustration was the root cause, but rather the final straw.

perhaps you might try reading what she's actually saying.

I dunno. Perhaps when I get to heaven, I'll ask my grandmother and grandfather who raised 8 kids. Or I could ask my dad and my aunts and uncles--they seem to be of the opinion that my grandparents rocked as parents.
