I mean let’s be honest- we all would have let Shawn Kemp do *lots* to our own flesh and blood to keep him on campus back then. It was a different time.

Shorts:
- Love Narcos:Mexico and the chick who plays Isabella - shew weee.
- High Fidelity is pretty damn good. Zoe Kravitz is outstanding. There is one obvious weak point- and it’s one of my least favorite TV/movie archetypes- the big-boned, loud, sassy black girl. I mean- how many times have we seen this character? Sometimes it works (Donna Meagle) but mostly it’s played out.
- John Wall doing some recrootin on Kennedy Chandler was pretty awesome. Love that he still comes back.
- I hope not but with Buzz and our team personality, you can bet tonight is going to be a tight and frustrating one.
- Thoughts on childcare? smh
- Sloot’s the best. She’s been texting me good maternity wear brands and options. Really appreciate it.
- One of my favorite IG follows is a Calvin & Hobbes account.
- Why is there NOT one outstanding college basketball podcast? College football has a handful. College basketball has 3-4 I can stomach but certainly not must-listen.

Because nobody gives a damn about college basketball outside of like 3 cities.
College Basketball Talk with Dauster and Reagan is about as good as it gets for a college basketball.
Happy birthday to our greatest living human - the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
If it's a viable option, skip it for 5 years until they go to school.
Like Reags but Dauster is terrible.
Chad - if you use childcare in the first five years you will ruin your kid for life. Every decision you make - no matter how small - has a definitive and permanent effect on your child. The bad ones, I mean. The good ones don't really matter much. Really, your overall goal should be to try and limit how many years they have to spend in therapy because of your parenting. Good luck!
Wtf are you talking about cricket?
I would assume he means the wife staying home and taking care of her child, but I suppose he could mean abandoning it to a pack of stray cats????
If there had been a viable candidate running on a socialist free childcare platform when my kids were in daycare I would have been #allin, comrade. Believe that.
Even if I won the lottery I’d send my kid to daycare. TMFS & GFY
Financially speaking daycare is like developing an expensive drug or gambling problem overnight. Those ACHs just hit different.
Have been told that daycare is basically like paying for your kid to get hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
Why can’t chad be the one who stays home?
wcc injecting politics again. smh.
Yikes. I missed the part where I said a woman's role is to stay at home with their children and they're ruining their life if they send them to daycare.
My wife works part time and my MIL keeps the kids at our house while she works. It's convenient more than anything.

COUNTERPOINT: you’re also paying someone to potty train your kid, teach them how to tie their shoes, maybe read a little
It’s an expensive give and take
I’m just glad Chad’s life will finally have meaning.
wcc is about to tap into one of the most powerful forces in the universe: working mom guilt
We have a nanny. It’s very nice. We have friends who take their kids to daycare. It’s seemed to work out just fine. My mom was a stay at home mom, I seem to be a functioning member of society. Our neighbors have the grandmothers trade days - the kids seem cool. I would say any of the above would be great, good luck!
Pretty awful of Cricket to even insinuate that it might make sense, even in a narrow band of time, for the mother of a child to be the primary caretaker! Get with the times, Neanderthal!!!
Women aren't allowed to stay home anymore because the booming economy requires two incomes in order to eke out a middle-class existence or something.
In reality your best bet is to consult Facebook - it won’t steer you wrong. On all things in life.
-sooo...this oldest to college is moving along. She wants to stay in state...so we did all the state schools/small privates of note.
-Its like buying a car. No one pays sticker price. Small privates are generous/pursue harder...their goal is to get cost "in the ballpark" of state schools. State schools are less aggressive in general...but we have one making a *hard* play(close to full ride).
-i have to admit i like the idea of small private for many reasons, one of which is pride tbh...but it looks like shes leaning in another direction which will make my wallet *much* happier.
-so basically what im saying...is that im likely gonna be paying less for college than chad is for daycare, lmao.
-also chad...dont forget orthadonture and dip-tet.

GYEROMAN
-truth.
-whats really happening is that middle-class folks have become accustomed to luxury items/food/travel etc...that were limited to the "well-off" in generations past.
^fomo/social media/marketing is a hell of a drug.
I think the issue here is that cricket’s post made it sound like the mom staying home is the best option.
Did it though?
-Tried telling you all. One of the most intensive long term studies on human development basically says that parents, other than genetics, are vastly overrated. So, get a coke and chill.
-Everyone, just get your MIL to watch your kids, that's the preferred method.
K. STFU Cricket, I'm going to end up trouble over this.
-We had a nanny for most of the first year, that was nice, except they're always at your house. So if you run home for lunch. There. Sneak out early for a quick nap. There. With daycare, I get those little 30-45 windows of quiet and WORSHIP.
-"Charge Wall." GTFO. Disgraceful.
-First Episode of Hunters, no thanks. Don't really care where it goes.

If it was a viable option I'd stay at home. I'd be perfectly fine taking my kids to Chick-Fil-A, the library, the playground, trampoline parks, etc. every day rather than working and talking to you a**holes all day.
Buddy, those can be some long-*** days, let me tell you.
Glad Cricket has things figured out.
Phew!
Phew!
I went to several #elite private schools and then married a wife who works and sent my kids to daycare and now public schools (and not even “independent” public schools!) so I feel like I’m qualified to both judge and be judged on these matters.
Nobody’s figured any of this out*.
