All daycares are bad apparently

I'm sorry if I offend anyone its not my intention im just kind of upset. My son goes to daycare and has since he was 1.5 years old so I can work full time. We have loved his daycare from day 1 and I feel truly secure knowing he is in good hands there, all his teachers are kind and loving and its overall a really great place. He is 4 now and needs the socialization, and is beginning to really make friends with his classmates he's been with for a few years now and he is happy going. I honestly couldn't imagine that just quitting my job and keeping him home 24/7 would be good for his social development and other areas of development, because I have not studied early childhood development like his teachers at daycare. I'm not being insecure in my parenting, it's just factual, and he absolutely has more fun at daycare anyway social aspect aside. But why do I suddenly feel SO insecure when my cousin reposts a status on Facebook saying "my child will never see the inside of a daycare, I don't care" agreeing with the sentiment? She doesn't even have kids, and to be honest, can't even keep a man for longer than a month. It seems like such a bold statement to make when you are not a parent or even becoming one any time soon. Her sister, my other cousin who has 2 kids and works from home with a nanny liked it too. Why do I feel so shitty even though I know what I am doing is best for my son? And why do people mom-shame others to begin with? Its so unnecessary, motherhood is hard enough without other moms tearing you down for your choices and acting like they are better than you due to theirs. Its infuriating and I just want to be like "haha well I guess I'm a bad mom then!" Or something but don't really want to stir the pot. I'm just venting but it just really irritates me that in 2021 we are still tearing other moms down when we all are just trying our damn best and doing things that we believe is best. To all of you out there I'm sure you are doing a really great job and your kiddos are lucky to have you even if you feel crummy sometimes like I do right now. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3reo0lj
