opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.

We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

You hated your WOH and your DH made 3X what you did.

You didn't experience it, therefore it must not exist. That's been one of your more interesting debate tactics throughout.

Sadly, unlicensed providers do exist. Wohms have come to this board saying how their sahm neighbor or friend is doing them a "favor" by watching their kids each day. I never asked, but I don't doubt that means the "friend" is unlicensed. Unlicensed providers are at times written up in the newspaper when things go bad. The reason providers are unlicensed are many, including that they can't satisfy minimum State mandates: sometimes even in terms of ratios.

So of course the parent checks for that license indicating the State maximum ratios are not exceeded. Like your demanding that your provider be licensed, parents across the board are concerned about ratios.

I really think your statements there are really uncalled for.

This point I have to agree with you on.

MM wasn't harsh at all, just echoing what PNJ was saying.

PNJ thinks the Nanny is better than the DH in terms of childcare (and never said he didn't love the children). Yet, at other times, PNJ has stated her DH totally steps up when left to his own devices on his own when PNJ is out of state, overnight traveling. The boys thrive then.

I cannot state 100% what I would have done. I would not have worked full-time. I am really not comfortable with babies being in othercare. If I were already a nurse, I probably would have worked per diem or pt with my dh being at home.

IMO, thriving mean that they are basically doing well. All of their basic needs are being met. It does not encompass all I want for my children. I want my kids to accomplish more than just thriving.
