I know when you are as dependent on day care as you are, or were ,scaredy it can be difficult and was difficult. The idea or question, keeping in mind that what you are saying about quality and availability being difficult at times is true,is “why stay dependent on daycare”? I think that most two parent families capable of paying for daycare are capable of making it taking care of their own kids. Maybe not though, and if not, that situation is what we should direct our attention at as much as any.
