One year olds are by far the hardest group to deal with..they are still babies, and people don't think they know the meaning of NO, but they do. The worst offenders are the parents. I would mention something to the parents about the hair pulling, and that we at the daycare would be discouraging playing with hair as a comfort. Parents have to make children follow rules as well.

Just because one carrier or another may not offer it, doesn't mean it cannot be readily had...for a price. Fact is, 95% of persons with health insurance in the US have group insurance (<i>"Many people receive their health insurance coverage through their employers. However, 5 percent of Americans buy health insurance on an individual basis, including: * Self-employed people * Early retirees * Students * Workers without health benefits Regulations governing how private health coverage is sold vary from state to state. " http://pregnancy.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Individual_Health_Insurance_Maternity_Coverage</i>), but thanks for pointing out the minority who happen to rely on individual coverage and the percentage of those who are of child bearing age and/or ability.

What just bugs me is the very weird assumption that having your kids go to daycare or pre-K is "letting other people raise them." I don't know any kids who are in daycare 24/7! Sure, I let my kid be regularly exposed to other kids and other responsible, kind adult authority figures. Good for his constitution. But my husband and I ARE raising him, and the fact that he's in pre-K for part of the week lets us give him our undivided attention when we're all together. And he knows we're the ones ultimately in charge of loving him and bringing him up. And I have a flexible work schedule too -- often working at night from home (like right now, except when I get distracted by PAN -- so I can have more time with the kid. It works for us. Other situations work for other people. Oh, don’t worry mamasan, I’m not in a tizzy or anything.

Or just have one, instead of four or five or six. Sometimes two kids is too much and forces both parents to go out and work. Why do people feel entitled to having as many children as they want at the expense of not getting to actually raise them?

Pregnancy must be covered by health insurance if you receive insurance through a "group" plan from your employer. If you are self employed and purchasing your own health insurance, pregnancy coverage is optional and often unavailable. @22.9 Sadly C.B. that’s only partly true.
