No, in no way is it 'bad' to not send a child to day care!! Sure, maybe some social interaction is good, but that doesn't mean they need to do that for one or more days every week without you there. Most parents have opportunities for their kids to interact with other kids whether it be through playgroup, ABA, or just at the local park! I am of the opinion that for little kids being with Mum at home is important if you are able to do that in your family.

I like the blog post quoted in this thread: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...0/#post2809840

So if you don't have to send your kids to care, then don't! And there is absolutely no need to feel guilty, it's not something a child of that age needs. On the other hand, if you want to, great! Do whatever works for you and your family and whatever feels comfortable.
