People destroy themselves, destroy their families over that. All I'm saying is, we have choices...
...mother should do everything she can in the early months of her baby's life to be the primary caregiver and to give her child the benefits of a confident attachment. That bond can then be strengthened by finding quality child care with trained, concerned staff and a good ratio of no more than three babies to each adult.
