I had post-partum depression after baby #2 and I believe I and my children would have benefited from a few hours apart once a week. I didn't have a MDO and yes, I "got through it" with God's grace. I believe experienced mom's need to offer up encouragement to new moms and be there when they need us. Maybe if more of us kept a sympathetic heart, shared our wisdom and were there to support one another there wouldn't be such a demand for daycare or MDO.valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02239328732470935666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29190761.post-26304616722983640452009-01-24T23:02:00.000-05:002009-01-24T23:02:00.000-05:00"It just doesn't make sense.

There is often no regard for what her mother might already have planned.<BR/><BR/>I cringe every time I hear a mother say that she is taking her two year old to school....SCHOOL! If you mean day-care, please at least call it what it is :D <BR/><BR/>Many times the mothers that are taking their children to "Mother's Day Out" are stay-at-home-mom's who are just going back home for the four hours anyways.<BR/><BR/>I heard someone say recently, "What is the point in taking my child to MDO on a 2-hour delay if I'm going to have to drive 30 minutes to drop them off and then again to pick them up." I'm thinking....why do you do that on a full four hour day?<BR/><BR/>It just doesn't make sense. The idea of being at home with them is that you take care of them at home.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729217616060227200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29190761.post-78932362797205368402009-01-23T13:28:00.000-05:002009-01-23T13:28:00.000-05:00I'm glad all this will "change" now that "hope" is...I'm glad all this will "change" now that "hope" is in the air. Go Barack! J/K<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I agree DT. Most Christian Women (and Men) don't have the mind of Christ with regards to children.<BR/><BR/>Sure glad the gospel has brought my wife and I full circle in this regard.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08437064486770342053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29190761.post-76065234113333616942009-01-22T08:28:00.000-05:002009-01-22T08:28:00.000-05:00Grateful,You are dead-on in your observation.

Their fun to show off when they can advance our selfish desires; then they are dumped.<BR/><BR/>DTDead Theologianshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749051924964777945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29190761.post-55524724820507191182009-01-19T15:37:00.000-05:002009-01-19T15:37:00.000-05:00Kids are the new pets.

Not PC. Women today, even Christians, do seem to have a very anti-child attitude. Which I think is just because the women who are like this are really their own idol. And pastors don't ever confront sin anymore.gratefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713660711187305435noreply@blogger.com
