Re: Cara       07/16/05 01:53 PM Edit Reply Quote Cara4503 Reged: 03/20/04 Posts: 1844 I understand where you're coming from....but I think that your hubby wanting to buy what he wants, when he wants it, is a bit selfish to your future kids! If him wanting to buy things is more important than you staying home to raise them, then that is messed up logic to me! But everyone has different opinions I know...maybe his thoughts will change a little when you have that baby. You don't want to regret missing out on the babies first years... And who knows? You might HATE being home after a year, and want to work...then you can decide...but if your gut is telling you to stay home, I think you need to do that. I HATE when people say kids will be anti-social if they aren't in daycare. That's the biggest load of BULL I've ever heard! (I'm not saying you said that- just in general!) It's not like you'll sit at home and watch tv all day and never let them interact with kids. There are TONS of activities you can sign up for at the park district or schools or whatever - where YOU can be there with him, so that YOU are the one to discipline him, watch over him, etc. I'm not knocking all daycares...I know there are some great one, and some people have to send their kids to one....I just dispise when people say that they won't be social - it's like the only argument they have. My sister is actually getting her PhD right now - and she has done EXTENSIVE studies of children raised in daycares vs. raised by parents in the FIRST FEW YEARS...and the number of problems with day care children is SO much higher, mainly because of the confusion in discipline. I do NOT mean to offend anyone who has kids in daycare - this is by no means EVERY child...heck, I was put in day care part time too...I'm just saying that, in my opinion, it's good to be home for at least a few years...there are plenty of things you can do from home. Eg - I am just now starting to tutor math out of my home - it's easy, pays very well, and I don't have to leave! Anyways....I hope I didn't offend you at all, I didn't mean to AT ALL. Just trying to tell you how I feel. I know everyone has different opinions, this is just something I feel strongly about. And hey - stay at home DADS are wonderful too!
