Would you leave your purse or wallet, with a complete stranger?

no i wouldnt leave my valuables with a complete stranger , kids included. i am a stay at home mom and chose to be one because of the horror stories you hear now days about day cares and babysitters.

So while we're at should we not even send out kids to grade school anymore? Should we not let them go to birthday parties? Should we not attend church anymore and let the kids play in the nursery? Should we not hire a babysitter when we need a night out? Should we stay at home with them all the time and never let them see the light of day for fear that something bad will happen to them? Our children will encounter strangers in all these situations. I think this question is ridiculous. For those parents that can afford to stay home with their kids, wonderful! It's great that you can do that, but for the majority of parents out there who have to work to support themselves and their family this is a completely unfair question. Of course no one in going to leave their wallet or purse with a stranger, but as far as childcare goes most people don't have much of an option. You do your best as a parent to pick a place or a person that you can try to trust to care for your child the best they can. Then you have to deal with the all the judgment of other parents telling you that you are doing a bad job because you are doing your best to support your family.

I would never leave my purse or wallet with a stranger. I have 1 son who is 2 1/2 months old and another baby on the way, I'm a stay at home mom and I plan to be that way. Nowadays, I don't think a daycare or babysitter is a good idea (unless you know them) because you can't trust anybody anymore. You can't even trust pastors.

I am a stay at home mom who also happened to be a teacher prior to having children. My husband and I made the decision not to have children until we could afford for me to be able to stay home and raise them. That's difficult to do, especially living in California.

I think every person's circumstance is different. Some parents both have to work in order to make ends meet and day care is the only option. Others choose to put their children in day care so both parents can pursue a career. Whatever the circumstance may be, I don't think it's an easy decision to make.

Personally, I feel responsible for raising my boys and instilling morals and values in them. I don't want to leave them in day care at such a young and impressionable age. If I had to return to work, I would do what I could to get a family member or close friend to watch them.

Hell no i wouldn't leave my purse with someone i didn't know but i see your point in schools about our kids but i really think that is 2 different things

I would never leave my child with a daycare provider that I didn't trust enough to leave my wallet with. I have to have total trust in them or else I'd find another provider.
