all right do you have any kids
 	
 	
 		okay
 		no
 	
 	
 		i've got two and it is hard to find day care for them
 	
 	
 		what um what do you think needs to be the criteria set for those
 	
 	
 		oh
 	
 	
 		what would you like to see in one
 	
 	
 		well i i've seen the bad side in most of them
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		i took my son to a day care one time when he was just  you know just uh not even three months old and uh you know it was a desperate thing
 		and uh when my husband went to pick him up she he said that the baby had been crying the whole time he was asleep but you know how they cry in their sleep
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		and uh you know this uh couldn't catch his breath even in his sleep and that turned me off of day cares
 	
 	
 		i bet
 	
 	
 		and then when i took uh
 		i've seen these kids that uh
 		it's a church volleyball they have a day care set up there for people playing volleyball and uh one of the girls was real mean to the kid
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		hm
 	
 	
 		and that was you know he she'd just she had treated him like family does you know and um
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		it you know it uh i know most of the girls up there and the ones that keeps my kids are real good uh my son doesn't like people too much
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		but uh when when we leave there he uh gives the girl a hug and tells her i'll miss you so you know
 	
 	
 		oh well that's good
 	
 	
 		so i know they treat him good
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		uh
 	
 	
 		is it
 		i don't know maybe would you think a
 		better student to teacher ratio
 		do they have too many kids in most day cares for the people they have
 	
 	
 		yeah yeah uh i don't know much about day cares itself you know uh you know this is more of just the nursery for three and under
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		and uh there's only there's two people taking care of about five kids uh where i'm where i'm taking my two
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and but uh in most places yeah they got forty five kids at best i guess
 	
 	
 		oh my goodness
 	
 	
 		you know and maybe about four teachers and that's a lot of kids
 	
 	
 		yeah um we don't yeah we don't have any but we have you know plenty of sisters and brothers that that have them and
 	
 	
 		uh
 	
 	
 		i'm not sure that there is a solution to that as far as uh the day there you know everybody has in their mind the kind of day care that they want but
 		it seems you know that there's not really the perfect one out there
 	
 	
 		no there's not nobody can take care of your kids better than you
 	
 	
 		right and that's not even possible anymore i don't think to be able to take care of your own kids without you know with everybody working these days
 	
 	
 		well i had to quit my job because of uh my my two you know uh day care wise or babysittingwise and stuff
 		uh because you know my sister was keeping them uh uh we just lucked out and she uh met a military man who lived down here and we came down here for TI
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and uh so i had her baby sitting but she was six months pregnant and it was getting too much for her so i just quit i'd rather quit and take care of my own kids than let somebody else raise them
 	
 	
 		oh yeah
 		yeah that seems probably the best way to do it
 	
 	
 		well you know they're getting raised right
 	
 	
 		yeah yeah um
 		i haven't really the only day cares that i have been familiar with are the ones that are local here with the churches and they seem to
 		from my experience be the best at what they're doing just because of what they're based on
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		yeah if um
 		i i know one church that uh there was some problems with but that was just uh basically a personal problem between the mother and the uh person that was taking in charge
 	
 	
 		oh
 	
 	
 		but uh
 		the church uh day care that my kids uh they don't go to a day care you know it's uh during Sunday School and stuff uh the people there are really nice
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		yeah
 		yeah i think i think that's that's important
 	
 	
 		yeah well they
 		i think it's one of the important things
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		if uh because if they don't like it uh you can't get them that separation thing and i need that my kids i need to cut the strings on them they're not very old but
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		how old are they
 	
 	
 		three and uh four and two
 	
 	
 		oh
 	
 	
 		so you know they're they're good kids you know they do bad things but they're good kids
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 		but you know kids kids do those
 	
 	
 		yeah uh but
 		i don't like the punishment the day care does you know i don't know exactly what they do but i don't want no one punishing my kids but myself
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		right
 	
 	
 		and that's another problem with day care because you're not there so you don't what they're doing
 	
 	
 		right right
 	
 	
 		and if
 	
 	
 		yeah they're probably i would think needs to be i don't know if they have any type of uh formal or informal spontaneous or routine drop ins of agencies
 		you know people checking up on like they do nursing homes you know they drop in to see if you're meeting all of the requirements by law and
 		and i think they need to do that with day cares and just see what's going on
 	
 	
 		yeah that's that's that's something that should be brought up with these people
 	
 	
 		so but i'm not really sure
 	
 	
 		i don't know if they do it either to be truthful
 	
 	
 		yeah i don't either it's not until you have kids i guess you worry about those things
 	
 	
 		well uh
 	
 	
 		
 
 	
 	
 		with me i just decided not to face it and you know in most in in so many words you know in one way or the other i just decided not to face that issue and i just keep them with me
 	
 	
 		yeah
 		uh-huh
 		well
 		i don't know what we've done to solve any of this  but i've enjoyed talking with you
 	
 	
 		
 
 		yeah so have i oh
 	
 	
 		and welcome to Texas
 	
 	
 		oh well thanks and i guess i we've we've been on long enough so you have a good day all right bye-bye
