I'm a mother and I am also a sysadmin. My child has to go to daycare. This is not a choice. I am single and we live on the other side of the country as any of my relatives. It would be nice if there were daycares at the workplace, but we manage. The real downside is when I have to stay home due to a snow day or other minor holidays (this Friday is Veteren's Day), so I end up using all of my vacation and sick time during the year. This means we can't take more than one vacation a year -- and then it is only for a couple days. It would be nice if there was a drop in daycare.
The posters who say that putting children in daycare is not taking responsibility simply do not take into account life circumstances. We all do our best.
Although when I looked it up, it was hosted by netnation (Silicone Valley), There is an Ethiopean website: http://www.ethiopiaonline.net You can find out a lot about Ethiopean Technology from there.
