I have the full support of my family even though it means money will be tight until he starts kindergarden and I can go back to work. My mom is a teacher and works in the school system, and some of the stories she brings home are horrible.

Fatal accidents are pretty rare thank god, but daycare accidents happen far too often.

Daycare for older children is also unsatisfactory. It is crowded, germs are passed around, kids would rather be at home AND belong at home.
