Do you get my drift? It ain't natural, just like high fructose corn syrup and sucking fossil fuels out of the planet, it ain't natural.
We are working too hard, we are collectively sacrificing quality family time, critical years for the developing child, for what???
I'm amazed at how tightly people seem to cling to the status quo. Poor kids.
I am, it should be clear, speaking of ideal conditions.
Taking a child to a workplace care setting is FAR better than to a commercial day care business.
YMMV.
