Not that I don't agree with stay at home mom's. We are preparing for our 4th child - 3 will be at home - and my wife is going to try to work from home. Luckily, it's our business so she will still be able to bring in some money.
My feeling has always been daycare is helpful for children in the growth process to be around other kids. Learning things that mom and dad can teach, but they have to experience first hand. Just the simple process of learning to play with other kids, or sharing, etc.
My kids have all gone to daycare. Not daycare centers, but daycare in someones home. Finding the right person is a very time consuming process, but when you do, it's great to know that your kids are in that type of environment.
I do feel that being with parents can be a good thing for kids. But both kids & adults need some separation. It helps both the parents & the kids.
Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.
