Respectfully, I don't think anyone really thinks that. They might say that, because they don't want to be around their kids, but I truly don't think anyone actually believes that putting their preschoolers in full time daycare is beneficial to the children. Obviously, if they can't provide a rich environment for the children because of health issues or personal crises, then daycare is better for them at that time.
I believe that anyone who says daycare can do a better job than I can do of socializing my two preschoolers just doesn't want to do it and they're looking for an excuse. IMHO.
Not trying to start a SAHM/vsdaycare fight, I just think someone who doesn't work who has their children in full time daycare indicates a basic unhappiness with their situation.
I understand what you're saying. And through something I've experienced with some friends, I can see this being a possibility. My husband and I know a couple that had two small children- both worked full time jobs and their kids were in full time daycare. What I found odd was that when the mother had a day off, she would still put her kids in daycare. I wondered if she missed her kids at all since she was away from them five/six days a week as it is. She was also the controlling one in the relationship, and definitely wore the pants. The husband would do anything for her and thought she walked on water.
Anyways about a year after meeting them she left her husband and children and moved out of state with someone she was having an affair with. Months later she tried to take the kids away from their father, which the courts wouldn't allow. Also, this wasn't the first husband she walked out on- and luckily she didn't have kids with the first husband.
My point is- as a SAHM myself, I can understand putting the kids in daycare a few times a week. I mean come on- everyone needs a break from their kids. I would go insane without one. BUT IF she's a stay at home mom with no job, and chooses to put her children in full time daycare- does that really fit the bill of a devoted, super mom? Isn't that a little extreme? Is it possible that term was used because her family wanted LE to take this investigation seriously and not assume she may have left on her own?
Also, has it been confirmed whether or not she still had a job? If so, full time day care totally makes sense. And has it even been confirmed that the children were in full time day care?
Just exploring all our options. Not pointing fingers. I'm still on the fence between her being abducted, or her leaving on her own.
My gut tells me the husband didn't do it. It reminds me of the Kelli Bordeaux case. I believed the hubby was innocent from the beginning, while others were pointing fingers. It turned out he was.
