Disclaimer: This is my opinion in my blog. You are free to disagree but only in a nice way.
So I go attend night classes to obtain my MBA. This semester I have a marketing class. The professor is good and really gets the class involved. In todays lecture something was said that most didnt pay attention but I did. We were talking about changing demographics and one of the points was that 'more kids are getting raised by others'. ???. Does that mean what I think it means? Yup the ever debatable issue of working mommies. My sister and I have this discussion all the time. I think its a decision that every family must make looking at whats best for them.
I dont think that sending your baby to daycare means that you are letting someone else raise your kids. I think there are some great working mommies out there as well as some great stay at home mommies.
I will more than likely be a working mommy. Munchkin will go to the child care place at my employers central office. It is top notch as I work for a federally funded early childhood education organization lol. I am completely comfortable with their care. I really like my job and would like to be able to continue at it. Now this might change when we acutaly have a child but this is our opinion at the moment.
If anybody wants to chime in on this great debate, in a respectable way, feel free

Maybe he was talking about how more extended families are raising children...like grandparents raising their grandchildren.
but on the working mommy debate, unfortunately we live in a society that warrents most families to be a two working parent family. There are many good aspects of daycare too, like socialization. I'm right there with you. I'm going to have to work, even though I really won't want to.
I feel that it is not fair that working moms get judged! I don't have to work. My husband supports me fully, however, I am in school fulltime and when I graduate I plan to work fulltime. Will I have to work fulltime? No, but I want to. So, I guess that will make me a bad person to choose to work over staying at home with my kids...
