This feels like a strawman. I didn’t say that “all a child needs is their parents”. I am saying however, that parents in most cases will provide higher quality care and more attention to their child than what a daycare can provide. Have you tried watching 3 kids simultaneously? It’s just not possible even in the controlled environment of a daycare room. Kids that are raised by parents aren’t in a bubble - they’re still going out and meeting with other families and kids and doing things. The notion that children raised by parents are not exposed is itself a common myth used to diminish the value of parents.

Saying "that parents in most cases will provide higher quality care and more attention to their child" and that it's not possible to watch 3 kids simultaneously is reinforcement of "all a child needs is their parents". It's laughably false and shows your ignorance on this subject. Putting parents on a pedestal is not good for children or parents. Please take a look at research on this subject.
