I know that the general consenses says that women should be able to stay home for 6 weeks, but I don't think there is a law saying that they have to or that they should. The daycare mom I am talking about had her doctor sign off that she could go back so it wasn't up to her employer.
Your comments have a lot of value...you just need to word them as your own situation or your own experiences. I commented because you posted using the words "ALL" and "our" as if you were speaking for everyone.
To be fair, she said "alot of our parents" She WAS speaking of her own experiences.
Your part of the country isn't messed up....just different than mine. Yours might be the same as a million other places, but not the same as some others.
Yes, this will always be a debatable topic because everyone is different. I only responded to your post because of your wording. You said "ALL our parents" as if you were speaking for everyone, so I wanted to clarify that I was not in that category.
Again, she said "alot of our parents" I haven't seen where she said "all of our parents"
I was speaking from MY perspective and not saying anything about anyone else's situation....that was really what I was getting at.
I think she was as well.
The heated discussions and debates stem from blanket statements...which several providers pointed out.
Your second paragraph, where you speak from your personal perspective is not at all disagreeable as you are speaking from YOUR experiences.
That leaves little room for deabte or rebuttal.
I am having a hard time understanding WHY this is so debatable. What is the big deal? Som,e charge, some don't, everyone does what works best for them and their own families as well as their daycare families. Why is everyone taking things so personally? :confused:

Oh my goodness=I couldn't really understand why my wording was causing an uproar and I have figured it out.
I wasn't even talking about childcare parents. I was talking about parents in the U.S., not childcare!
I was actually commenting to littlemissmuffet and the whole U.S. holiday thing she was talking about. So my comments were more in general about parents across the nation.
[Just to clarify I did say "alot" not "all"Each day is a fresh start
Never look back on regrets
Live life to the fullest
We only get one shot at this!!
