Millions of native US citizens run day care centers for children. Absolutely no reason we need to import Rosa from Honduras to do this. Wouldn't u rather leave a child every day w a fellow native who can teach about Pledge of Allegiance, nursery rhymes, Dr Seuss, all that?

When they interviewed the girls who grew up like that, in the 1950s, when they were young mothers, they emulated, very clearly, their GRANDMOTHERS who had stayed home during the Depression. We're told it was advertising: it wasn't. It was counter-revolution.

Observed in my own family: great-grandparents were swinging Lefty Weimar-era gen; grandparents rebelled against their decadence to become conservative, WWII 'Greatest Gen'; Boomer parents became decadent Lefty hippy gen; I (eventually) rebelled to become more conservative GenX.

Nancy Pelosi should definitely give these fine fellows a chance by hiring them to babysit her grandchildren...

the women who worked in factories had access to factory daycares, gov't subsidized daycares and apartment collective daycare. they enjoyed them. the children did not enjoy them. It's heartbreaking reading memoirs of this.

Wonder what % of women have "nannies," i.e. people who come to your home. Yanking a child out of home is a very different thing.

Off the Philly Main Line (50) interestingly, African American women are raising white kids in rich towns like Villanova and Wayne.

Maybe. At bottom, perhaps women do crave more (if not quite the same amount as men) of the kind of recognition that comes only with opportunity to apply a professional competency. IOW, there is something to the idea of raising the social prestige of motherhood.

The progs who had gloried in factory work in the 1940s usually divorced, had children out of wedlock or drank themselves to death over the next few decades. The thought the 1950s coarse, materialistic, baby-centered, grotesque.

Things like gov't daycares would feed kids cod liver oil. The mom would appreciate her healthy little guy. The kid would remember getting stomach aches and throwing up every single day from the oil (I'm presuming rancid, or just gross)

There's books about this: femininist oral history projects. So in lefty libraries, or university. The moms would mention something, the researchers would ask the kids: mom's view: GREAT! Kids view: Unmitigated misery!

I worked with a woman whose toddler learned Spanish from the housekeeper. It pissed her mother off, because SHE couldn't speak it, and her kid would embarrass her by saying something in Spanish to which she couldn't respond.

ok, i will try! while i am a big believer in nature even i would be more comfortable with "illiterate honduran nanny" caring for my infant than my, say, 5 yo. IQ is not the only consideration; there is vocabulary, accent... career women fight to death for exclusive preschools.

Nature based largely IQ presents itself in adulthood. But yeah her kid will likely do poorer in school and not reach potential for gene IQ
