I can see having Jayde in daycare (sort of) so she can meet other toddlers, but a baby? Is there any advantage in that for a baby? I'm aware that many working mothers have no choice in the matter, but, if you had a choice, would you do it?
shareSome women work full time and don't have family around or family that is able to babysit during the day so the kids need to go to daycare. But Macy doesn't have a typical 9-5 job (not sure what Taylor does all day) so I did wonder why she'd put an infant in daycare so soon. I know she probably has to mail out those ugly tshirts if they get an order but daycare is very expensive and I don't know why she wouldn't keep him at home for awhile.
shareI personally think it is way too young for a baby to be in daycare. The germs that are around with a weak immune system is too much. Jayde, yes. Maverick, no.
I can't imagine why it would be difficult to keep him at home or have a babysitter or family watch the baby.
2 month old babies are in daycare all the time and they are fine. Where do you think all the babies of mothers who have to go back to work 8-12 weeks after birth go? The issue with Maci is that she doesn't really do anything that would require her to place him in daycare at this point.
shareHow do you guys know what Macy does during the day?
She and Taylor run an online clothing company.
If I were in her situation and had that choice, I would not do it. Like you I can understand Jayde for social reasons. But Maverick is much too young IMO. I understand as well that some moms have no choice, and I am in no way judging that, but for someone who has a choice I disagree.
shareEven Jayde, IMO, would be better off at home with Maci. Who knows, maybe they only go for a few hours? I never wanted kids, but if I'd had them I would want to be with them!
shareI never my kids to daycare. One, I can't afford it. Two, I hate being without them. Three, too many horror stories about stuff that happens (even at one in my own town!)
But on the flip side, my 4 year old could have benefited from going even just for a few hours a day. He is in Pre-K now and the teacher says the main thing they are trying to work with him on is his social skills. I feel like if I would have sent him to daycare he would have been a little better about that. My 18 month old on the other hand has the 4 year old to play with so her social skills are a lot more developed.
Mainly I am just saying Jayde is likely benefiting from it. Not to mention, if Maci is even trying to do minimal work for the tshirt business at home, having her out of the house is definitely helpful. At that age she would either have to keep her stuffed in a playpen alone, or try to constantly chase her while working. Daycare does make much more sense for her in that situation. At least she has other kids her age to play with while she's there.
I don't get it either. Maci and Taylor have so much leeway with the money they get from the show and running their own business that I don't get why you would put an infant in daycare.
shareMaci does work. She runs a company from home. My sister in law, who is a wonderful mother tried to run their family business and care for her newborn and let's just say it's easier said then done. Try fielding a professional phone call with a baby screaming in the background. Or try to balance the books when the baby just wants to he held. She tried, and ended up needing a daycare. Sure, she would love to devote all of her time to her child, but she also has to pay the bills.
People are always complaining that these girls don't have real jobs and wonder what they will do when the MTV money runs out, looks to me like Maxi's taking care of business and trying to set up a future for her family for after the cameras stop rolling.
Yeah, I work at home, and though it's hard, I do not want to send my 3 year old son to daycare, let alone a newborn! I do send him to preschool 9 hours a week so he can socialize and have things to do, which he loves.
Dexter: I would give everything to feel nothing again.
Right, it's normal for 3 year olds to start preschool and learn to interact with other kids. But sorry, a one year old doesn't need to go to "school", even a two year old. Kids are fine at home with their parents until preschool age, they won't be socially scarred.

Ive worked in a toddler room at daycare and you may see them as just babies, but they really are learning, socializing, and have their own lives there lol. It's actually the cutest thing. They have friends, they do activities, they go for walks (at least we did at my center), and they just love it there. I worked in the 13-24 months room. You would be amazed in seeing a toddler daycare room and what they can do and how much fun they have. It isn't just aimlessly playing. Twice a month there was a guitar player who sang songs with them and they would stand around bobbing side to side to the music and playing their own instruments lol.
shareMaci and her leech of a man/child are drunks and meth heads but people call CWS on Amber for hitting that fat guy Gary? COME ON! Maci is a full on drunk and that guy she is with. Just a matter of time that she will fall and hard she has to admit she's a drunk.
shareThis is kinda related to Maci. Catelynn posted a Tweet basically saying that stay at home moms arw better for the development of children and how they are ' a moral compass'. Also she stated that she was ' born in a wrong era'.
What she fails to see that she is not a stay at home mom if SHE BGETS PAID FOR IT. She has a income from MTV and while some moms probably have something going on the sideliness (I don't know like sell products) it is mostly an unpaid job.
Secondly, some moms don't have the luxury of lying in her bed all day 'watching' their kid because they HAVE TO WORK because one income isn't enough to get by.
Third, lots of mothers have established careers or maybe own business prior to having kids..It's not that easy so just up and quit.
LOTS of people called Catelynn out on her comments and one of them said that Nova was at her grandma's most of the time so how was Catelynn a SAHM?
MY point is.. Her new excuse for not getting a education or a job is because she wants to be a SAHM for Nova.
I honestly wonder what she and Tyler are banking on. TM will end and they should think ahead.
As for Maci.. A one month old in a daycare while she hasn't gotten a job and is home all day is RIDICULOUS. Oh yes they have the T-shirt line but does that really make up for 40 hours of work in a week? I don't think so...
P.s. To clarify my post isn't about bashing SAHMS because I am one myself (lol).
It is about Catelynn having YET ANOTHER excuse to not do anything with her life other than engage in TM /MTV related stuff (their new show 'reuniting' people).
Ok Catelynn has just hit my last nerve. Cate thinks just because she's at home that she is doing something positive for Nova's development? How? By laying on the couch all day while Nova entertains herself with barely any interaction? She's acting as a moral compass? How? By smoking weed several times a day, inside the house, outside the house, and in the car? You can't tell me that Nova hasn't seen or smelled it. And Cate said that Nova stays at April's house 2 or 3 times a week because she needs a break.
Many women would love the option to stay home with their kids but they can't. It doesn't make them bad moms and it doesn't mean their kids will be under-developed heathens. Nova would actually benefit from some stimulation and attention...with her mom or without her mom. Cate doesn't even seem to take Nova outside to play or to the playground. I bet she would take her if there were couches and recliners at the playground.
Nova is one little kid who'd be better off in day care, compared to the indifferent supervision she gets at home. Cate is a poor role model. I'm sure she doesn't really mean to be, but that doesn't change what she is.
shareOops sorry I misread. The 'moral compass' comments was by someone who replied to Catelynns Tweet.
'So many people underestimate that Being a SAHM is a fulltime job. I can stay at home with her if I want to!'?
This soumds mean but I should have known those comments weren't hers because it was a eloquent post.
Anyway Catelynn thanked whoever replied and said ' she was born in a wrong era too'.
People did call her out for being full of sjit basically, as I said before.
Sorry for the wrong info.. :(
If I had a choice, I wouldn't. I have worked at daycares where newborns were accepted, and some mothers took no real maternity leave, so there would be days-old babies there.
Does Maci have a choice? I know she has the T-shirt business, but does that take up her time on a daily basis? Are Maverick and Jayde in daycare daily? I have wondered about these details since first hearing the children were in daycare. I can't help but be curious.
Right. Honestly, why would anyone if they didn't have to?

Exactly. Jenelle is one who comes to mind. She put Kaiser in daycare (and also would have Tori be a "nanny"), but Jenelle is a horrible person who is more interested in holding onto a man than caring about or caring for her children.
shareI had to send my son to a babysitter at 4 months because his dad and I both worked full time. I don't see the reason why Mav is in daycare all day everyday other than maybe they want a break. Because it certainly isn't because they work their fingers to the bone. Ive also said that Jayde should go a few times a week part time so she can interact with other toddlers but not an all day everyday full time thing as if there aren't anymore choices.
