Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Teach your children at home and lock them away from the rest of the world so that they only know your teachings and your opinions. Do you ban friends from calling around as well?? The world must be very simple in your eyes.

There is no evidence it was contracted in crèche it’s closed as a precaution. Since there are no other case in the crèche may have been contracted at home especially of home is a farm. So it would be wiser to keep your misogynistic stone agen comments to yourself

Ah, I struck a nerve with a victim of feminism. My children are part of homeschooling groups and toddler groups that meet on a regular basis. They get plenty of interaction with others. Something very wrong though with sending your child to be raised by strangers with different ideals and different principles. Throw into that a mixed bag of other kids who could be a bad influence on your children because they have been brought up by other parents with different ideals and principles to yours. Children end up picking up bad habits from other kids that way too as well as the strangers they are being brought up by.

Work at the crèche Betty Lou? You are being very defensive :-)

I’m not a feminist at all, just a hard working realist who leaves my children in a very safe environment that they thrive in and are happy in. We agree to differ on this one but looks like more agree with me than you!!!!

Stephen how will your children learn to deal with these bad influences when their adults if not exposed as children? And what about the good influences? And broadening their horizons? Children who are home schooled are often obnoxious know it alls with poor social skills who think mammy is no better than a cook and cleaner.

Im sure Stephen has a degree in teaching to adequately teach his child to a high enough standard so said child can have a third level education in later years.

Kids also pick up bad habits from parents!! And also can pick up illness from siblings and parents
The hosp told me my baby had an e coli infection, I asked for a re-test, and it came back clear, the urine bag had been contaminated with e-coli.

No I do not I am a fair minded individual with medical knowledge

Is there something wrong with men or women respectively that the man cant stay at home and the woman work? Leaving that sexism aside, it’s a ludicrous point anyway!

I was being sarcastic in case any of you missed it!

You might want to check the co2 levels in that bubble your living in.

There is nothing to suggest that the E-Coli has come from the crèche at the moment. It is probable that a child who attends has E-Coli and the crèche is closed as a precaution. People should not jump to judgements and await a full enquiry in to the cause of the E-Coli before tarnishing the reputation of the crèche and putting the livelihood of the staff in peril.

If it is found that the child picked it up at home will there be a headline “House closed due to E-Coli fear” no there won’t and I sincerely hope the HSE give the accurate details of this and not hide behind confidentiality as the reporting of this has already raised questions that need to be answered.

It depends on the situation. When we were deciding who should stay at home with the baby it came down to my Hubby being in a more secure and better paying job. So it made sense for me to quit work

Would you ever change the record? A woman’s place is in the home and all schools and childcare facilities are evil. We’re all terrible parents. We get it. Now please, give it a rest.

Above directed at Stephen, obviously..
