Desi Attitudes towards Daycare/Pre-School Programs

@Mehnaz

Why is there such a negative attitude towards daycare/childcare or toddler/pre-school programs? Regardless of if you work or don’t, the general attitude is that if you put your child in any of the above-noted programs, you simply aren’t a good parent. One of my friends who had her daughter in daycare from an early age, the girl’s phuppi decided to brainwash the daughter when her mother wasn’t around and told her that her mother hates her and doesn’t want her around and that’s why she ‘dumped’ her into daycare. The psychological affects of this kind of talk is so damaging, it’s simply disturbing.

Why so much hate? More importantly, why do people who don’t even have any kids feel the need to dictate what ‘good parenting’ is?

I have observed this so much and I don’t understand how people handle hearing all sorts of putdowns.

ooooo because won’t we all perish unless we criticize?

These days I have a ladies group trying to convince me join a homeschooling revolution. It must be great but I’m not comfortable with it…but now I’m being criticized for sending my daughters to public school where they will be associating with boys and learning curse words and using drugs by age 12. Yahhhhh.
