My sentiments exactly. Thus far I've stayed out of this thread because of all the needless mud slinging. My wife and I have made sacrifices in order for her to stay home with the boys, but we wouldn't trade the experience for the world.
The first years of a child's life are so formative; you can't tell me that seeing little Johnny for 1/2 hour at 6:30am, plucking the little bugger out of his sleep because you have to get to work in time, and seeing him for an hour after work before he has to get in the tub and go to bed, is good for a kid.
The kid sees more of the daycare workers than his own parents 5 days a week. And when little Johnny needs a firmer hand because he is pushing his boundaries and testing his limits (as most kids are apt to do), the daycare's hands are usually tied.
Our SUV is nearly five years old, my car is 2 years old and we can't afford a new X-5 or a vacation to the Carribean every winter. Oh, the humanity!!!
