Re: Career Minded Parents and Child Storage Facilities
Your thread is about daycares and preschools and such. Did you even read what this study says? Apparently you can't read, because the study you posted DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS what you've said...
This negative effect of a mother's reduced contact time with her child may be offset, however, by enrolling the child in pre-school or some other type of formal centre-based care instead
but mothers can partially offset this by choosing the appropriate type of daycare
Meaning that these facilities are much more than "child storage" facilities - as long as you look for the right daycare/preschool.
Besides, you can have a job, and definitely take a few years off from your work to raise your kids before they get into school. Its harder taht way in some fields since you have to come back in and work your way up, but you can keep up with things in the field in your time off if you're smart about it. Its all about proper planning.
