Are You A Parent Raised By Parents Or A Parent Raised by Daycare?

Question

There is a diference in a child raised by parents led by God and children raisedi by daycare workers who just want a paycheck.

Answer 1

There is also a difference between religious people who were raised by people who don't know how to spell (or capitalize properly, for that matter), and heathens who were raised in schools with spelling and grammar standards.

Answer 2

Hmmm.. well, my mother was home and raised us until I was 12 and then had to return to work. I work from home and am raising three children. We're agnostic, so take that as it is for the "led by God" comment. Behavioral traits start from home regardless if you're kids are in daycare, school, watched by relatives or a close friend or even from stay at home parents. I know good kids and adults that have grown up both ways but they all had a healthy family structure.

Answer 3

I was raised by my parents. I only went to preschool to prepare for kindergarten. If there was ever a need for care providers, they always came to our house and until I was 5 we lived right next to my grandparents. My daughter stayed with relatives when I had work or classes until she was 4 when she went to daycare 2X week. (She's 13 now and I was single then) I wished I could have just stayed home with her. So why am I now mentally debating who's going to care for my infant in January when I have no more leave (due Oct. 10). If my husband is willing, I should just stay home, right!? Hmmm. You've got me thinking. I was a children's librarian and I SAW the benefits of parents caring for children as opposed to the kids who came in with daycare groups. Hard decisions are racing through my mind, but I think I'll stay home a couple years unless I can move back closer to family. Grandma & Grandpa are second best to Mom and Dad, right?!

Answer 4

This is a very serious and touchy subject, but a good one. I was raised by both parents. My dad worked and mom stayed home for my brother and me. I personally feel like we benefitted greatly in all aspects of our physical and emotional well-being because of it. I in turn was able to raise my daughter without having to ever use a baby-sitter other than my mother occasionally when I needed to do an errand or shop. I volunteered in my daughter's school from her Kindergarten through fifth grade, and, sorry, but I witnessed a recurring difference in children raised by single parents and/or daycare versus those who had intact families with stay-at-home, hands-on moms. I certainly understand when circumstances necessitate a mother having to work, but I believe God originally designated the father to earn the living and the mother to nurture the children.

Answer 5

If you had asked me this 2 years ago I would've quickly responded parent raised by parents... but here recently I'm beginning to realize that my parents were very busy when I was younger. My father worked 8am to 6:30pm every day. And my mother stayed at home but ran her house design business at the same time. That basically meant I was either staying at a friend's house or outside with the neighborhood children all the time. I only started realizing this when my mom kept asking me if I thought she was a good mom. I'd always say "Of course" and wonder why she'd asked. I still think she's a great mom, but I'm understanding why she questioned it.

Answer 6

Parent raised by parent and doing the same with my daughter. She knows where Mom and Dad are anytime she needs us.

And you are right, SOME of the children raised by their parents and not the local daycares do have a different attitude and level of respect and manners. Of course, there are SOME raised by their parents who lack the same..

Answer 7

I'm a parent raised by parent and grandparents for the most part. Some of us have to work all day and our children attend before and after school care because we don't have family to take care of them after school. Some of us do what we can in the safest means possible because we don't have the option of staying home to raise our kids on our own. Be sensitive to the majority of the world please.

Answer 8

I was raised by parents, but I really don't like to judge people who use daycare. Sometimes it's a necessity of life, even 'tho they wish they could stay home (need to work to support the kids, you know).

I am not sure how God enters into this one.

Answer 9

I'm both. And for the record, God plays a smallish, almost trite part in my child rearing, and I was raised to pray and go to church...but I believe that my care giver gave me a different type of guidence and ultimately helped shape me (along with my parents)into a wonderful person.

Answer 10

In my early years (0-5) I was raised by my grandparents and mother. Afterwards, I was raised by my parents but I still came out screwed up.
