I'm not keen on DS being in daycare on a farm for a few reasons:
1, in order for that to happen we would have to have a huge lifestyle change invovlng a move. He'd also have to either live in the middle of sodding nowhere or he'd have to be driven to nursery and I kinda like th fact that we can walk to his nursery and his friends live nearby.
2, a REAL farm is a working environment with tractors and balers etc being noisy all day long. I don't want DS in daycare in that situation
3, assuming its not a working farm there will still be risks from animals. unless the animals are more or less pets? Now I do expose DS to animals, mud, muck etc but I prefer to do it on my terms.
4, nursery to me is a safe environment with HIGHER standards fo H&S and cleanlines than at home, a farm doesn't match up to that.
and animals mating - fine if he sees it but I'm not going out of my way. DS isn't an animal he is a human, what would he learn from watching animals mate? that isnt' how humans have sex, we dont' come into heat, we don't bear litters of young.
I want him to learn about love, trust, respect and fun in sex, and that doesn't include showig him a smelly dog humping a poor bitch or drakes raping a mallard hen in the lake by holding her head under the water!
Oh and he wasn't BF and even if he was i really wouldn't want him to equate that with a cow or sheep stood in a field with no other job than to chew grass and give milk to her young before being killed for meat? I kinda want him to see me as mum and a cool human being not a milk machine?
(not saying BFing mums are milk machines - making a comparison with cows)
