Were you lucky enough to be able to stay home with your kids when they were younger?  I stayed home with my daughter until she was 3.  I think sending the kids to daycare is a huge advantage for them.  They can build social skills early on and be ready for the friendships in school.
What do you think?  daycare or no daycare?

Thta's right! day care will help the child to create social skills. Also some child even after completing 3 years they won't talk well and good. If we allow them for day care, they are getting chance to mingle with other child's and they started to speak well with in 2 months.

Wow, brining in $300 and paying out almost $180 is a lot.  Good daycare is expensive though.  It's too bad you can't find other kids to watch in your home.  That way you are home with your own kids and making money too by watching others.

I was lucky enough to be able to give up work and stay home, I always worked and I loved working and thought that I would really miss it, I had planned on sending him to daycare at 2 but when he was 2 we ended up moving, getting married and before we knew it he was 3 and I was really enjoying my time at home so we decided that I would stay permanently, we've since had another baby so he really fills my days now. Day care is brilliant for children's social skills and for the Mother too, staying at home can make your brain go to mush lol

I started my kids out in daycare and had nothing but trouble!   Finally I decided to quit my job and open a home daycare myself.  Being an educator with a degree in early childhood education, it wasn't a hard decision for me.  My kids were able to be home with mom, while learning the social skill by having other children come into our home.  My kids also learned to share very quickly.

That is a great way to do it Antk.  Staying at home and bringing in other kids.  I bet your kids had to learn to share quickly.

Did you have toys for daycare? and then toys for your kids?  So that your kids had their own they didn't have to share with anyone?

Both is having some advantages and disadvantages too. Daycare is helpful to develop social skills and staying home, the child will get the real affection from the mother.

I agree with the saying, that everything in this world has advantages and disadvantages..i have a 4 year old daughter, and i enrolled her for a summer class before, that was only for a month, and i decided to enroll her for daycare for the school year, but her schedule is morning, and she is not a morning person, she used to sleep late, so i decided to let her stop and for now, my mother (her grandmother) is teaching her some lesson at home..so i think, its good that the kid will learn to be with other kids on the early age, but there is a disadvantage,it may lead her to be lazy in studying in an early time..hope you guys see what i mean..godbless!!
