stupid FB comment about daycare

[hokiegirl82]

A woman I know from the gym is 19 weeks pregnant and posted on FB yesterday for recommendations for daycares in the area where we live. she got some nice comments from ladies with different daycares, and then some guy she knows comments that all daycares are bad and she should SAH or her parents should watch the kid. he goes on to say that both him and his wife work full time but they work different shifts so one of them is always home with the kids.

one woman called him out on his comment being from the 1950s and he still stood by it. the woman I know did shut him down on it - saying she knew plenty of women who's kids were in daycare and the kids were great, plus her parents live 7 hours away, and her husband does some sort of contracting so he is gone for long periods of time so obviously she needs daycare if she wants to keep working, which she does.

i really wanted to comment to this guy that she didn't ask for opinions on whether day care is good or bad for a kid, just for recommendations for daycares her friends send their kids to, but I don't know the women too well outside of the gym and I didn't want to cause trouble on her FB. but that guy's comment really got to me - not all women can or want to SAH with the kids!

People suck.
I would not start a war on someone else fb page.

Oh i have absolutely no intentions of doing that - i am pretty much completely silent when it comes to facebook when it comes to people making stupid comments - i always prefer to stay out of it.

Ugh. I hate people.

My friend was having major anxiety about going back to work after having her daughter and posted about it on FB. Someone commented "you should just quit your job and stay home like I did." As if that is just an easy decision to make!!!

He is a judgmental idiot.

I can't imagine working opposite shifts just so we didn't have to use daycare.

I'm sure that works for some couples, and we could probably make it work but it would totally be less than ideal.

We already work opposite shifts, so we will likely do this.
