It's not that they put him in daycare to begin with, it's that their child was on a near-daily basis inflicting bleeding bite wounds on other people's children, and his reaction is - multiple choice -
a) relief at not being sued by the other children's parents b) remorse at the injuries caused to other children c) relief at other children's parents not showing up at his house d) concern that he and his wife might not be addressing their child's needs e) concern that his summer will be a "living hell" because he and his wife, both of whom work at home, will actually have to divvy up time spent with their child
I mean, good god. I'm frankly astonished that anybody as articulate as this guy obviously is can actually WRITE that article, presumably read it over before submitting it, and not make the connection between "I think of my child as a liability and a burden, if a cute one, to be avoided as much as possible" and "my child has serious dominance and anger issues."
