re: Is it better for a kid to be at home with mom until 3 or 4 years old, or go to daycare?

I have not read through every page but an option outside of daycare is mother’s day our programs at local churches. Child gets structure and builds social skills but still also gets the home with mom thing as well.
My wife( no pics) teaches kindergarten and it is easy for her to pick out the children who stayed home with mom or grandparents until pre-k or K. They are usually behind on the social interaction as well as behind on the learning curve.
We found a day care that had a structured pre-k style program. It costs a little more but it pays off.

better off at a daycare rather than at home(obviously referring to the typical work week)

I would lean daycare but it really depends on the daycare and the mom. Is the mom going to watch daytime tv all day and do you trust the daycare? We have a great day care that we trust and it has been invaluable. The kids do a bunch of activities and they learn a ton.

Our kids are two and three And they stay home. We socialize them and that's important. Every weekend they're at my moms and we have them in a little gym program. They also see their cousins at least once a week and they have a little friend that we do play dates with at the park

I'm starting to wonder if these people are just jealous that some parents are in a position to be able to homeschool. I wonder if they feel guilty about having to send their own kids to be educated and raised by strangers in what amounts to a daycare/prison.
Jealous haters

Both of ours starting going to daycare at about 3 months old. Worked out well for us.

Really think it comes down to diet, discipline, routine and one-on-one attention

been sending my daughter to daycare since she was around 4 months or so. just not feasible to let her stay at home as we both work.
she's gotten the pink eye, mild flu and other shite from other kids, but i am hoping that toughens up her immune system.
behavior wise, i'm told she gets along well with everyone at school. aside from 2 biting incidents, which was caused from frustrations of another kid taking her toys. as a parent, that's frustrating as shite to deal with.

Really stupid? You want to talk about what is really stupid? Really stupid to have kids if you're incapable of raising them. Really stupid to rely on others to raise your own kids. Really stupid to refuse to learn how to raise your own kids. Really stupid for people to just be OK with being a dumb despot.
Really stupid to live in a society where it is the norm not the exception that people don't raise their own kids from birth to kindergarten. Really stupid that around 30 to 40 years ago the norm became for both parents to have to work in order to pay the bills. Really stupid that people have self-justified this to the point of ridiculing others who see a bigger picture where this has resulted in a decline in sense of independence and self responsibility and growth in dependence on others (even the state) to raise their kids. Really stupid that since all this started we have become as a society dumber and lazier and have snowflakes and safe spaces. Really stupid that as more generations of these kids grow up we have more kids with worthless college degrees and unending debt. Really stupid that we also have foreigners taking high paying and low paying jobs from Americans left and right, while americans look for someone to take care of them.
Really stupid that they want to make preK also compulsory.
Everything you said is 100% true so I don't know why you got downvoted so hard. I like the passion, some people have soft ears and apparently eyeballs.
Most people were raised in the system that you're describing above so they don't have the ability to step outside the herd and see that it's standing in briars and moving towards a cliff.

This is the right way. Sending your kids off to daycare has become generationally normalized (read: function creeped) to the extent that the human condition to be competitive & comparative now has people thinking they're doing something wrong and their kids are inadequate if they're not "socialized" by age three. And I wasn't even being "punny" with the use of the word "socialized"...ironic, wouldn't you say?
So in kindergarten a teacher can tell who went to daycare and who stayed home. Little Henry or Henrietta already knows how to criss cross applesauce. Big deal. Immune system strength? Is this really how we're supposed to gauge the development of our children? By their exposure to germs?
Someone tell me a story about how a 4th grade teacher (LEAP test) can tell if a kid went to daycare or not. In 4th grade when it counts, what is reflected in study habits/behavioral development is home life, parental involvement/reinforcement. That comes from parenting, not daycaring.
Maybe someone has some stats on the number of daycare kids vs. the number of stay at home kids on ADD/ADHD medicine.

This has nothing to do with daycare vs home.
Both my sons knew their ABCs, numbers, and spoke some Spanish well before they were 3, sign language before they could talk.
I'm not a rabid defender of either choice, as I see benefits of both, have employed both, and think either can work.
The ones who are dead set that one is better than the other are simply insecure about their choices and need affirmation.

It's probably more along the lines that most of the homeschool kids we knew growing up were awkward as hell. Those programs have progressed a lot since I was in high school 20 years ago. The kids that I know today that are homeschooled aren't quite as bad as the ones I grew up with, but they still are lag behind the other kids in many social aspects.
Homeschool parents often chose that for their kids b/c they want to shelter their kids from reality. Other choose it b/c they are extreme helicopter parents that refuse to let their kids out of their site. Neither bodes well for the child.

I agree. And I've never met a normal kid that was homeschooled

2 days a week or so at daycare interacting with kids is a good thing though
Yeah, gives the kids twice as much chance to get sick. My stay at home mom raised three boys and not a one of us ever had a run-in with the law. There are plenty of ways for kids to interact without going to daycare.

Go read his post again. At what point in his ramblings could anything even be remotely construed or implied as racist?
If you're seeing racism in a post like that that then you're seeing racism everywhere and you need to reevaluate your worldview

It depends on the specific kid, parents, and daycare. There are too many variables to simply say one is better than another. Some kids need more social interaction to develop social connections/norms. Some parents are better parents if they are not with the child 24/7. No two daycare settings are the same.

You support homeschooling you weird frick. Therefore you cannot be taken seriously.
