Heart vs. Head: The work status decision

Did you make your decision to SAH/WAH/WOH ft/pt based primarily on objective/tangible factors, or with your heart?

Thank you very much. :)

No need to get bent out of shape!
"What I did say was that object permanence has nothing to do with love. And you haven't shown me anything to counter that yet."
FTR, you said "And, since love isn't an *object*, separation anxiety has ZILCH to do with missing love. It has to do with missing a physical presence of a parent or other object."
and you also said "I also said that I don't think it really is the love they're missing. That it *could* be, but that it wasn't necessarily it."
Where does your first statement one say it *could be* love? I thought ZILCH meant something else???
Anyway, the article I posted specifically stated that ***attachment to care giver*** and ***development of trust*** are developmental milestones necessary for the onset of separation anxiety."
Do you think that love and attachment/trust are unrelated? Is that why you think "separation anxiety has ZILCH to do with missing love" ???
It doesnt add up that way to me. Nope, I'll stand by my assessment that separation anxiety is very much related to missing the *love* their parent or caregiver shows them.

It depends on the daycare/school. My ds went to a Montessori preschool. I would say there were about equal numbers of WOH parents and SAH parents whose children attended. And when illnesses spread, the children with SAH parents got sick at the same rate as those with WOH parents.

Aha. That was in the post before I clarified, when I was equating (upon your context) sepration anxiety with object permanence. I fixed that later, after I did what I should have done in the first place and separated the two concepts.

Do you think the child can separate the love from the parent? If not, then how can you know its about missing the love rather than missing the physical presence of the parent?
