[speaker001:] so uh what do you think about child care
[speaker002:] oh well my my feelings on are it is uh I wouldn't take a child to a day care you know I mean I'd I'd wind up um just a babysitter in a home
[speaker001:] right probably find someone how come you wouldn't take them to a day care just because of the
[speaker002:] um um well too many kids and and I think too many infections and things coming in
[speaker001:] yeah they seem to pass a lot a
[speaker002:] yeah sicknesses and I don't know then all the things you hear about them and
[speaker001:] yeah you kind of wonder whether or not
[speaker002:] yeah I mean I'm sure there's some good ones but I just I don't think that I would hum
[speaker001:] I took uh Cammy to a oh it was a preschool day care type of thing
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh
[speaker001:] but I kind of I liked it in some ways and some ways I didn't um I think the ratio of kids to teacher is really important
[speaker002:] oh yeah yeah how was it
[speaker001:] and well I think they had a they had two teachers and I think there were twenty kids but I only had her going two days and most the other kids were going more days so that was probably my own fault
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] that she didn't oh you know one thing I noticed is uh
[speaker002:] she she went
[speaker001:] um just they were trying to get her to teach her to write her name and uh I didn't notice it until this summer when I was working with her that she'd bend her wrist all the way oh not in a natural shape form
[speaker002:] oh she did
[speaker001:] yes and uh I was kind of mad mad that they had never noticed that and either pointed it out to me or or uh tried to say look you're holding your she's holding her pencil in the right fingers and stuff she but she was
[speaker002:] uh wrapping her arm all the way around yeah
[speaker001:] yes and uh I hadn't worked with her on writing at all at that point she was four or three yeah she was uh it was last year and uh then this summer I got the thing from the school that says things to work with the kids on and I worked like I said I didn't notice it till then
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] because I hadn't worked with writing letters or anything and
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] stuff like that
[speaker002:] well they'd never picked it out though huh or just never said anything
[speaker001:] no they never course like I said I took her two days a week and maybe that was my main reason for taking her was um just social skills more than anything else
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] I felt she needed the social just I didn't feel like she was mature enough socially and
[speaker002:] yeah well one thing that's kind of different too though a preschool than than taking a a infant under to a day care where they're taken care of
[speaker001:] um um-hum oh yeah I think it would be hard to take them to people you don't know preschool's a different thing but I think it's hard to take kids to somebody you don't know and or unless you have awfully good references
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] reliable um people I don't know it's so hard to take young kids anywhere for very long
[speaker002:] well I think it's hard to leave them it is
[speaker001:] it is the older ones it's not you don't even really have any real worries because you know that they'll play with whoever's there and they usually adapt pretty well
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] yeah it it is I think just hard to leave them because nobody will give them the kind of care their own families will um
[speaker001:] well and you know their kind of their schedules and you know if they're upset and that type of a deal
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] I don't know how um people uh that have young kids work and work full time and and do it really without being stressed out all the time I think it's well I don't know then then on the other hand I think it's harder to stay home in some regards it's hard to always keep yourself feeling like you're doing something productive and at the end of the day your house still feels like it's a mess and you haven't got anything done and what am I gonna fix for supper
[speaker002:] oh yeah oh yeah that is uh
[speaker001:] yeah it's kind of hard to always feel like gosh what is is this important what I'm doing and
[speaker002:] yeah well um the work never ends for sure uh
[speaker001:] no no it it doesn't
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] but I think that taking kids to a probably people that take them to uh preschools and day cares full time oh they would I don't know probably just feel a different uh I think I just think it would be hard to do that full time I feel such a responsibility even when we go out for a few hours that are they driving the babysitter crazy and
[speaker002:] uh uh-huh or is everything okay
[speaker001:] you know what
