So, I downloaded this book. I could ALMOST see her point, but her "I am so wonderful, and nobody else is as good as me" attitude really rubbed me the wrong way.
She had an insult for everyone. Even the guy who left the kitchen to carry two babies up a flight of stairs. The "nice" college students who never knew anything about kids.
But, SHE is apparently flawless.
Does she not realize that parents KNOW this stuff before enrolling their kids? If the parent must carry an infant down and up the flight of stairs, wouldn't they realize that in an emergency, they must also be carried up that same flight of stairs? Wouldn't they realize that six infants with two adults can't carry all the babies up the stairs at once?
I'm not suggesting I would put my child in daycare either....but, the point is, an entire book about how complete strangers are changing the child's diapers and holding the baby is unfair and it assumes that parents are clueless and ignorant to the fact that other people are coming in contact with the children. It's not like they allow just random people in the center to fondle the kids... If the parent trusts the caregiver, they must also trust the caregiver's choices.
Anyway, I thought the book was highly offensive, and I don't care for the "Parents are not good parents if they choose daycare over their kids" feelings that this book is putting out there.
