With all due respect, I have always had some trouble with this kind of statement. I just don't see how full time daycare for a child equates to the daycare "raising" that child--as if the family or parents no longer do the raising, if that child is being looked after during a scheduled work day.

I attended full time family daycare from the time I was six weeks old. I only have glowing things to say about the daycares I attended. And while these experiences supplemented my upbringing and learning about the world--they in no way replaced the raising that my parents did!

Make no mistake: though a daycare supervised me during daylight/working hours, it was my parents who raised me---from loving things they showed me, to mistakes they made as well. THEY raised me. Daycare did not.
