I think the post from the unregistered mom was great. I have parents just like her at my daycare. Moms who miss their child terribly while they are at work and who can't wait to pick them up at the end of the day. Even these moms occasionally leave their kids late so they can run to the grocery store, go to the post office, get a hair cut, etc. I'd rather the child was here playing and comfortable for an extra hour or two than being cranky in a car seat or mall.
Yes, we all have parents who leave their child everyday from open to close, never take them on errands, and let the TV do the childcare at home, but I think these parents are rare.
