You read my rant as I wrote it.
I...Fair call Holly.<br />You read my rant as I wrote it.<br />I was incredibly aggro at said person, because I actually was friends with her so know her quite well, and unfortunately it's not mental illness or the inability to cope, it's the fact she tells people (her child included) about how much said child has 'stopped her life'. <br />She's not a single parent either, so her reasons honestly make no sense to me (or anyone else who has asked her why). Just that she 'gets sick of *insert Childs name*<br />Cheers for the comments ladies.<br />Like I've said I'm not judging people who use daycare, but I just know it's been abused in this way and it frustrated me :)Tara @ Our Whirlwind Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128706568848285409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-68975839538838152822011-04-20T21:00:07.234+10:002011-04-20T21:00:07.234+10:00Once upon a time, I thought the same as you. A gir...Once upon a time, I thought the same as you. A girl I knew sent her son to day care once a week for her from very early on and I just could not fathom <i>how</i> she could do that. I knew I couldn't! Then I got to know her and learnt that she battles with some serious mental health issues. She is a loving and devoted mother, a damn good mother but she found herself needing a few hours where she could regroup and recharge. She had no family or partner who could help her so her next option was child care. She beat herself up badly about it too. <br /><br />My point?<br /><br />It made me realise that just because having my babies at home worked for me, it doesn't mean that it will work for the next mother.<br /><br />And while I don't think it's great this girl is off pissing away, how fair is it to run around labelling people as unfit parents just because they do something that we don't agree with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-28403593719096880502011-04-20T08:48:31.534+10:002011-04-20T08:48:31.534+10:00My daughter goes to preschool 2 days a week (she i...My daughter goes to preschool 2 days a week (she is nearly 4) she started days care once a weeks when she was 2 for a year but thats only because i was still in school full time and one day was all i felt comfortable with. then when she was a bit older than 3 i signed her up to preschool. Not to get rid of her and give me a break (although it ment i could do extra house work or do the shopping)but becuase i felt she needed a little more interaction with kids because it was just me and her, and also to get her more prepared for school in the next 2 years.(it was going to be next year but im not ready lol) <br />I dont agree with putting younger children into daycare for no reason though! and expecialy to get drunk that is just unfair!! if you insit on putting your kids into dayscare atleast do something more productive!!Perfect Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784867468845502662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-74024140376077386392011-04-20T06:24:31.574+10:002011-04-20T06:24:31.574+10:00I completely agree...

I have several friends that whinge and moan about bot having any time to themselves.. (they both only have 1 child, and ones pregnant again) just wait.. as far as im concerned, you get time off when they're in bed... I miss my kids too much when they arent here and bombard my dad who looks after them with phone calls checking on them... (glad im not the only one that smells kids clothes cos we miss them!! :P)Jessikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096864926269856503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296239918663175103.post-85358193202382002312011-04-19T21:51:04.069+10:002011-04-19T21:51:04.069+10:00I completely agree with this (no children here yet...I completely agree with this (no children here yet though). My fiance works at a daycare and a few of the parents have got caught paying with their unemployment check. When that happened, the village told the parents you have to get our kid out to free up room.Kindroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320478076212368779noreply@blogger.com
