How many women feel guilt when they drop off their precious child at daycare because they are greedy ?

Question

There ARE women that love money more than their own flesh and blood and perhaps they will have a payback time when their children catch on ! Next time you turn the key to start your BMW think about that.

Answer 1

I'm sure there are women for whom this is true. However, when my ex husband and I divorced and my daughter was 3, he decided child support was against his religion and he elected not to pay it, and to work for "under the table" wages. I elected to drop my precious child off at daycare because it was better than watching my precious child starve to death, and I refused to be one of those women who sit by the mailbox and wait for the welfare check to come in every month.

My precious child is now 21 years old. She is strong, independent, intelligent, kind hearted and has her poop in a group, which is more than I can say for some of her friends whose mothers opted to stay home and raise them to grow up and marry men who would allow them to stay home. Many of those girls were raised believing intelligence and ambition are optional because, after all, Price Charming will be along any day to take care of them for the rest of their lives. My daughter learned by my example to stand on her own feet and not expect a man or anyone else to put her on easy street.

If you opt to stay home and raise your children, that is good for you. It's nice you have that opportunity. You should not condemn those who do not. I hope you teach your daughters independence, though, so they don't wait around for some guy to do everything for them - and then when the guy turns out to be an abusive jerk, they're stuck because they don't know how to take care of themselves.

Answer 2

I feel guilty about having to leave my child at daycare sometimes. But even then, it's because I'm being selfish and would rather hang out with her all day then go to work. My daycare is amazing with my 2 yr old and she can already count to 13 and say her whole alphabet...not something a whole lot of 2 yr olds can do. She won't EVEN be two until August. She's also nearly potty trained. It's necessary for them to be around other kids so that they can continue to challenge each other! I have to work so that I can pay the rent. I'm a single mother now and I don't have the luxury of staying at home. So, when I turn the key to my jeep...I thank God that I have wonderful women that care for my child and treat her as their own 9 hours a day so that I can go to work and provide a decent life for my child while teaching her responsiblility and independence. To answer your question....I don't feel guilty for dropping off my precious toddler off at daycare. Have a great day!!!

Answer 3

reading between the lines, i can see that you are generalizing women, but not talking about all women. however, it doesn't make your judgment right. obviously, you don't have children, so how an you make a deeply rooted statement about something you haven't even experienced.

and i will bet that you probably can call your mamma for anything, right?

i am a single mother, and my son's dad wasn't supportive. i stayed home the first year of my son's life, because his father and i stilled lived together, and it was okay. however, we separated, and i had to work to pay rent and feed and cloth my child. believe me if i could stay home i would.

on the other hand, it is no different than when you start school.

and, if these women were being greedy, why would they pay almost $9,000.00 a year for childcare?

and for the record: i don't feel guilty about leaving him at the daycare knowing that they are preparing him for grade school. he can't learn to behave successfully in school if i keep him home can he? i don't feel guilty about dropping him off to teach him that mommy isn't gonna be around all the time to get you out of trouble, so you had better think for yourself. i don't feel guilty aobut leaving him at daycare so that i can bust my A** to take care of my son on, get this $16,000 a year.

so the next time you feel like talking about someone, why don't you go to the bathroom, stand at the sink, and look straight ahead!!!

Not only women but men feel sad to leave their baby with a stranger. But one needs to think of their kids future and therefore work. How will u pay the bills if u dont work.
U will understand that till u become a parent. BEFORE BEING A PARENT, I used to think exactly like you.
As for the BMW, even if you have 10 of those, u have to rely on so many people poor than you for something or the other..isnt it.

My dear, just being rich doesnt help, u need societys support anyways!
But I am glad u asked the question....think abt it!

Answer 5

Some people don't realize just how lucky they are..But instead of enjoying their own child they hire a nanny or daycare...I was with my kids the whole time growing up and I think they are better today because of it..I know that not everyone can afford to stay home, but when you are at home spend time with your kids...You just might learn something

Answer 6

Some of us don't drive BMWs; some drive the same car we bought in high school.

Considering how expensive it is to live, you strike me as the same kind of person who would complain if I went on public assistance.

My wife and I did day care and things turned out fine all the way around.

That's the problem with a ranting screed; it's not fully correct. This is not a one-size-fits-all world.

Answer 7

Hell, I'm a (man) father and I feel guilty dropping her off at daycare. I work 13 hours a day, but seeing her when I get home makes my World! But I feel guilty only b/c I feel I miss her growing up. Not b/c I'm greedy.

Answer 8

Hey, get of your high horse. There are people out there that have to work in order to survive. They have bills to pay, such as hydro, telephone, rent, medical, just to name a few. In todays society people have to work to provide a roof over the childs head,clothes on the childs back and food in the childs stomach. Yeah, it hurts them to do it but it has to be done. Yes there are money hungry parents out there but do not put all parents in the same category.

Answer 9

I am a father and I felt horrible the first day I dropped my kid off to daycare. But its not only about greed its also about need. Sometimes both parents have to work to make ends meet.

Answer 10

you need a life, were you dropped off as a child? probably and now your trying to make other parents feel guilty...get over it diaper boy!! do you understand the economics of raising a child in these current financial climates? most couples have 2 or 3 jobs, and many women who have to drop off their children are raising that child alone because some loser of a husband had abandoned his family...is that your problem?
