let me tell you something... childcare is so expensive!!
It is but quality care at a young age is so important
i agree and that's why i'm a stay at home mom. I used to work at a daycare and there is so much negligence!

i strongly agree! 
I guess that cultural conventions are important for young kids also
can you tell me more about cultural conventions?
