How much daycare is too much?

Did anyone see the Wall Street Journal today? An article on the "Personal Journal" page talks about two studies that are coming out -- one being the already referenced NICHD study -- that shows 45+ hours a week of day can do harm to a child. What I found interesting about it is that the NICHD study says *anything* other than mom care is other care!! What happened to Dad?
The other article, in the same section, is an article about how parents are outsourcing everything now, including potty training! The article states that parents will send a child to a batting coach instead of just playing catch in the backyard. Another service, that costs $60 an hour (!), will help teach your child how to ride a bike!
I don't have an online subscription to the Journal, so I can't post the stories here. Does anyone else have one?

So, a wohm who spends 3 hours at the gym, and still gets teh same amount of time with her kids as the daddy in your example, needs more time but he doesn't? because his time is quality? hers isn't?
