I can't fathom leaving one's children at daycare so both parents can work. Many (most?) kids in daycare who's parents work full time spend more of their time awake with the caregiver than they do their own parents. Think about that.
Now, I understand that for some people, there simply is no other option. In that case you have to do what you have to do and I respect that. For the person who claims that they have to work, but has a new car, fancy house, fancy clothes, big TV, cell phone, etc. I call bullshit, plain and simple. You care more about your image than you do your kids. Defend yourself all you want, but inside, you know the truth.

We have beat up old cars, thrift shop clothes, and a herd of boats. Of course, we bought the boats for the good of our teenager so he could have an outdoor activity that's not regimented the way so many youth sports these days are.
I'm with you... the boats provide family time. Our kids are young, but the older one (3 1/2) already loves the time spent sailing and can't wait for spring. She hasn't yet complained that our cars are old or that our TV is small.
