I have seen both sides of this with my two nieces that have children. As with any issue there are pros and cons to both. My youngest niece has two beautiful babies that she has no choice but to put in daycare. Her daughter is almost two and her son is almost one. Aparently she must have chosen a really good daycare because both babies are very happy and healthy. Despite having to work full time she has managed to do a great job with her kids. Now my other niece has a very different situation. She works and her husband raises there 3 year old (Katelyn) Although Katelyn doesn't quite have the social skills yet that my other nieces baby has, she is also a very happy and smart toddler. So to me, I don't personally think there is a clear cut right and wrong answer to this long time debate. Every situation is unique to each family and what works best for them. There have always been those certain people that are close minded and want to stand in judgement on this issue but to me I never gave that any mind. I always looked at it this way. I make my choices for my kids based on what I think is best and let those who want to judge have at it
