Who has influenced your sah/woh
| Thu, 02-09-2006 - 2:39pm |
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!!!!!!!!

"I too am stumped by Sabinamarianne's adamance that ratios don't matter or are a simply personal preference only some parents are concerned with.
Every State limits the infant per caregiver ratio by law. You posted the ratios which *every* State has deemed sufficiently important that they've enacted laws concerning ratios. These are not mere recommendations or suggestions. Thus, limiting ratios is an across-the-board, objective concern to parents.
I believe Laura said in Sweden, daycare centers don't even accept infants ~ again, a universal concern of the State and obviously the parent-voter."
Great post!!!
honestly, no, not the state we currently live in. i do know however that our home would not pass the standards for the state we moved here from and yes, i did know what the standards were in that state.
i can give you a couple of very quick things that would prevent us from passing in that state - we have stairs without gates, we have animals living in our kitchen and roaming free throughout our house, we do not keep our doors locked and my kids are allowed to play in various parts of the house and outside without an adult being present.

"I think women have come a long way. I think the fact that we many choices we did not have in the past means we have come a long way. yes, there is more to be done but having every woman work is not the answer."
Indeed, "having every woman work is *not* the answer".
"I am the glass is half full type of person."
Me too :)
"I do not need to prove who I am by working."
Nor do I.
"I have a great reeason for sah...I want to be with my children when they are small. What benefit is daycare to an infant/toddler? None. I wanted to be at home with them and it is that simple."
Yep, Seems fairly simple to me :)
