>Bill, I'll grant that Tamar is correct in one sense - there's been a much-needed culture change.
Needed for what?
To create a day-care industry?
Does anyone seriously believe that having a six-week old baby in day care is better for either the child or the mother than having the mother at home with the child?
That's the post-feminism norm and it's one the of the key factors behind those awful statistics I cited.
Studies have shown that prolonged body contact between child and mother correlates directly with mental health of the adult-to-be and vice-versa.
When schools shut down for a day here in Hamilton, there's panic. Schools and soccer programs have replaced parents as child-rearers.
