And I'm not so sure why daycare is viewed as evil. My aunt runs a small daycare with about 8 kids. The kids learn to socialize well with other children, they learn & develop together and are well taken care of. It doesn't mean the parents are abusing their children... and they still have evenings and weekends with their children. Just because a parent isn't with their child from 8am to 5pm doesn't mean that they don't love their child.
Can you let me know exactly where I said they don't love their kids?

I'm just wondering if you can refer to the post number so I can go back and verify that you don't argue by putting words in the other persons mouth and discredit any view that is different from yours by adding your own words to it and turn it into a big hairy monster. Whenever you argue things has there even been an instance where you don't actively look to put words in other peoples mouth?

Parents can raise their own kids better than any institution any day. I think if you need to work to keep yourself stimulated that is just fine, but if that's the case, then don't have kids.

Some institutions like your aunt's may be great, but they are like everything else, some will be good, some will be ok and some will be awful. Some are have $12/hr employees who really don't like what they are doing and just need the money.

More than any other time, today kids are fat, disrespectful to figures of authority and less socialized. To me there is a direct correlation between that and kids being slotted into evenings and weekends ... or whenever otherwise convenient for their parents to decide to hang around.
