My grandson...

.... is one year old now and needs to go to a daycare centre now because he needs to be socialized, he is old enough now.

Ugh..... has he been living alone then since birth? No social contacts at all?

Those type of comments always make me wonder how people think. Why would a child have to be put in an environment they are not used to in order to socialize? Don't they have parents to socialize with, no siblings, cousins, grandparents, etc.?
How about the people in the neighbourhood?
Why put a child into an artificial environment like day care or school with children of the same age group when real life doesn't do that. You don't learn socializing with older people or younger people that way, or just dealing with normal life situations.
I keep being surprised about those odd comments.
