You have already elided from fundamentally wrong to not as good as. So this is moving in the right direction.

I would ask you to take the next step with me. Please acknowledge, the points below can be true sometimes:

- Some Day Care will offer more love and attention than some parents

- Some children who attend poor quality day-care as two year-olds will grow to become just as mature or balanced as most of their their stay-at-home peers.

All I wanted to do is to show that this situation is more nuanced than "fundamentally wrong".

I am afraid I don't subscribe to your morality. At best, it puts the perfect in the way of the good. For many parents, at some point, day-care is surely the best choice available to them and we should not be quick to judge them as bad parents for doing so.
