Trumped by cheaper rates...again.

I just have to say, are you sure that EVERY time you see a provider with more than 5 children, that some are not her own? I have 3 of my own kids under 6 and at one time had 5 daycare kids under 6 as well. That's 8 kids total, but I am well within my legal rights to have them. Some providers on these boards have 4 or 5 kids of their own. If they were all close together and all out with a full daycare that could potentially be 10 kids. Now, most of us would say that 10 under age 6 or so would be insane, but it WOULD still be legal if 5 were yours. I think that is the point being made, that blanket, generalizing statements that aren't backed up tend to get people's hackles raised.
