Let me look ... I wrote nothing like that.

Nobody needs a degree in early childhood education. It comes naturally to parents.

Childcare professionals may develop a bond with the kids, but it's nothing like the bond a mom has.

I'm the one asserting that women have been forced into childcare for millennia. It's the default state in the absence of societal support.

_Love_ comes naturally to parents. Almost nothing else does, in my experience. You are extrapolating from an incomplete dataset. Again, your mom being good at the job of staying home with kids does not make other moms good at it. You are talking to a mom who isn't. I do, in fact, exist. I am asserting that my family, and society, are better off because I had a choice of career. I guarantee my kids would agree. It has nothing to do with how much I love them, and everything to do with my aptitude for homemaking and preschool childcare.
