Kids need to spend a majority of each day with someone who truly loves them, at least for the first few years.

I couldn't agree more! Babysitter is kind of a "bad word" for me. My ex-wife and I split our work schedules up when my first son was born so he would always be with one of his parents. Even after we've separated, we've spent the last two years with the same mentality. Carlin is now 4 years old, and has only ever stayed with someone else a few times, and only for a few hours at a time, and he has never stayed over night anywhere but at mine or his mother's house. My second son is now 5 months old, and the same rule has applied. @cryptomomma and I work separate shifts so Baby Vincent always has momma or papa around.
