Wanna see a tiger hunt down and tear into it's prey? All that is needed is for someone to disrespect my wife or my kids and you'll see a similar action. I may seem docile and relatively quite most of the time. I keep to myself, do not seek trouble either. But mess with my family, and you'll see a beast released within me come to the defense of my family like nothing ever seen. I don't appreciate when someone accuses anyone in my family of being uncaring, or falsifying the truth. When individuals like that come along in our life, it is hard for me to maintain my composure. I generally rely on my wife to calm me down.
I love my wife and my boys too much to let anyone speak ill of them. What's worse is when accusations come from an individual that doesn't even know my wife, myself, or our kids. Someone who has known us for maybe 2 months thinks that they have the right to judge my wife? I'm sorry, I don't approve of that. Especially when that judgement is inaccurate. Someone who comes from a broken home and has a child in a broken home? They think they know everything? What they don't realize, is that subliminally they are deeply affected by their upbringing in a broken home. They raise their own child without a father. They somehow think the world is out to get them and that there is no one else that is right other than them. Trying to justify their thoughts, they accuse anyone that crosses their path of being unjust and making them the way they are. They think that their child can do no wrong and it's the system that is failing and not the parent in charge. I often call it the "Guilty Parent Syndrome" or GPS. Parents, mostly single parents, that obviously have to work to make a living while their child(ren) are in some sort of daycare. They have the unfortunate experience of not getting to raise their own children. So once they pick up their child, they tend to end up pandering to whatever their child wants because they feel guilty about being away from that child all day. What then ends up happening is that child very soon realizes that the parental figure will more than likely give that child anything it wants if it puts up a fight because the parent feels guilty from being away all day. Or, when the parent gets home, the parent is too tired to run around and correct the child and give it proper discipline and the child grows up without boundaries, thus enabling the child to think it can do whatever it wants whenever it pleases.
The problem then comes in when that child is being watched by a responsible parental figure, such as my wife, that actually takes action to try to discipline that boundless child to teach the child to share, play nicely, and potty train the child. When that child acts out of line, then gets disciplined for it, of course they aren't used to that so the child tells its parent and the parent thinks that the care taker is out of line for disciplining their child.
Let me say that this isn't in every case by any means, this is just from events that I have personally witnessed. I have also witnessed many great children that have been raised in day care facilities and fully support facilities as such. With the way things are going these days, two incomes is a necessity. I am just simply giving the examples that I have witnessed in the past month and a half that have made me absolutely livid that someone would accuse my wife of being an improper care taker when I know for a FACT that I am an extremely lucky man to have such an amazing woman, my wife, raising our children. Seeing how happy my boys are and how much fun they have, how much they smile and laugh, proves to me that my wife is an amazing mother.

Stephanie is an amazing mother, no question!
People tend to be sensitive and defensive when it comes to their children, and don't see their areas of deficiency. It's easier for them to blame someone else than look at themselves and make a change.
