My wife and I will be attending med school in 2011. To increase our chances of attending the same school we will be applying to Carib schools. Does anyone know if there is any place/person or if it is even safe to put a child in daycare at any of the carib schools?
 
there are 30+ carib schools. where you are going?
 
Looking at AUC, SGU, Saba or Ross
 
I'm currently at Ross and I know that we have a daycare program. I know a good number of students that are here with spouses and children. I'm not sure about other schools though.

Daycare doesn't really exist since people take car of their own kids here. You know, like people are supposed to...

So if your wife/hubby cannot handle taking care of kids while you're at school then you are screwed in life.

Your spouse has nothing else to do here besides watch the kids. Oh wait, you are both selfish enough to let your kids suffer to chase after a career.

You people make me sick!

Save your sympathy for that poor kid of theirs. He will be car-jacking you in 15 years.

The fact that you actually posted this reply says a lot about you.

..probably a old (yeah you're old) mom who is projecting her awful selfish behaviour into insulting me because I am calling out bad parents... grow up, old lady. Not everything is about you and your choice to go to med school instead of taking care of your kid. At least your husband is going to take care of them when he's not at work...

I have to disagree with you here. I was raised in daycares and foster families staying with my dad only once in a while when he supposedly was not drunk, until my mom won the legal battle, and yet I managed to get mostly 90s in highschool, get accepted to McGill get a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. and will go to medschool this year, all the while always working and volunteering. I for one am proud of what I accomplished and I don't think all kids that grew up away from their parents become goons and/or thiefs. Please don't insult the ones that worked hard against odds.

That being said, I understand what you are trying to say and maybe also see an underlying personal frustration in your comments. Sometimes screaming at the top of my lungs in the forest helped a lot, try it sometimes, but please don't be so harsh to parents that are trying to make enough money for their children to have what they need, and at the same time trying to secure a future for the entire family.
 
Your youth was different because your parents did not choose to be alcoholics or choose to have strangers raise you. You are still going start at a Caribbean medical school now, instead of McGill or a US school. That is the price you are paying for your parent's negligence. Think about it.

These two people are choosing to go to medical school (which you will soon find out when you start) leaves no time for anything else besides studying and sleeping.

They are making a selfish choice to both go to med school at the same time instead of raising their child. They made a choice to have a child, and now they have to be responsible and face the consequences of their decision.

2 cents: I happen to agree 100%.

I hope the OP doesn't just get offended and defensive but really reconsiders.

Hey man, this is your kid.

Well, this thread certainly took an interesting turn.

To the OP - call the schools you're interested in and ask. It's the best way of finding out.

How old is your little one? Better yet how old will your little one be in 2011 when you will both go to school? Call the schools and see which ones would have daycares provided within the school grounds, that way your child will be in day care only during your classes.I believe that you both applying in 2011 already shows that you put thought into this in your child`s best interest, seeing how he will be 2 years older. As long as you include your child in whatever you both are doing (even studying) it will be a happy and good child.
 
There are many benefits for children that attend good daycares; going to daycare does not equate to spending no time with your children. Now having both parents concurrently attend med school is a different story.

To the OP, on GND there is a daycare run by SGU that runs about $100usd/month and there are also private daycares and schools you can choose from

ha ha.. well, while we're playing the "profiling game".... i'm willing to bet that you are a white male in his early 20's. low-average student, studied really hard for the mcat, but just couldn't hack it. now you secretly blame your substellar career trajectory on those damn ball-busting females and minorities who stole YOUR rightful spot in a US/canadian med school. and your mom, because she didn't hug you enough. look inside, man... your own deficiencies are what's to blame.
 
😀

hehe... at least you were right about my sex. You get two golden starts for trying:laugh:

And I know that you're an old woman with a kid from your previous posts on SDN...lol...not from profiling, silly... Pre-senile dementia isn't pretty...

Ouch! Lots of couples have to have both parents working. This couple has both parents going to medical school! Their schedules could get out of whack, but you don't have to be so closed-minded about it. (Reported btw)

The only people that are lower than negligent parents are the scum that defend them.🙄

wow. You're really whipping out all 4 1/2 inches on this woman. Did you have a bad experience with mommy or daddy?

It's interesting that you would use that exact measurement..lol...is there something you're trying to tell us :laugh:👍

Thank you! I knew that you would quickly realize how silly it was for someone like you (that has never been to medical school yet feels the need to form an uninformed, uneducated and sanctimonious opinion) to defend obviously negligent parents who would abuse their child via neglect.

It is nice to see you admit how wrong you were. I accept your apology.
👍
 
Why did it take you a week to go from asking where they were going to attacking them as parents?
 
I'm gonna stop reading this post. It's truly horrific and denigrating without any substantial premises.

Can't this be locked?
