My husband and I own and operate our own Group Home Childcare/Preschool business. We've been doing it for about 4 years and it has been the best career move of our life! Some of these women saying, "Why would any man want to work with children?" or "What's their motivation?" or "It's just a female's role" and "Children need a mommy, granny, or aunt"...these women need to get a grip! Children need men and women in their lives!!! Shall we just ban all dads from their childrens lives??? You women are really presenting yourself in a very uneducated way and are looking very unprofessional and naive. I say BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO to all of you men in the childcare/education field!!! Both boys and girls in my home cildcare come running up to my husband for hugs, to sit on his lap, etc. In a society where parent's work so much, children need care from BOTH genders. They need female AND MALE role models!!! I ADMIRE AND APPLAUDE ALL OF YOU MALE CAREGIVERS AND EDUCATORS!!! There will always be uneducated/ignorant women who think that there are ulterior motives to men working with small children. But there are also some pretty creepy females out there too women! MEN, STAND TALL! YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB!!! KUDOS TO YOU ALL! Name: Email: Subject
