That's a really valid point BG.

I too have known children for whom fulltime childcare was the best thing that could have happened to them as the quality of care was infinitely better than they received at home.

I also know of a case where a mother with three kids working part time and supposedly studying, had her children both in daycare (creche) during the day and overnight family daycare. The o/n care also extended to the weekends.

Essentially the only time she saw her kids was driving between the two...
