re: Who is middle class? Their income is lower than you might think

Terrible argument. My daughter is 7 and reads on a 9th grade level. Been in daycare since she was 4 months old.

Different strokes for different folks. I'm not saying it's a failure for every child. We tried one daycare, it was supposed to be good. My son cried and cried and stressed himself until he was constantly getting sick. My wife was also stressed with the situation. It was probably too early, he was 2 months old. I'm not putting down parents who use daycare. In my situation, the extra income wasn't worth it. A better car for me, new phones, etc... wasn't worth the sacrifice in time. You can always get stuff, but you don't get time back. We are able to make it work without her working, so that's what we did.

I probably should have worded my response above better. Really good daycares can do wonders with child development, in fact they need to be around other kids. Mines is going into a really good 1/2 day preschool around 2 to start getting that interaction (the same one my older son went to).
