I stayed home for 2 years with my first son. With my second son, he went to daycare when he was 6 weeks old (a traditional daycare center) with my third, he (and his older brother) went to an in-home sitter at 6 weeks. One of the reasons we switched from a center to in-home was because I wanted the SAME person to give my kids the hugs and kisses and to see their firsts if I wasn't there (I saw the difficult adjustments that #1 had when he had to switch rooms every 6 months-year).
Do I feel Mommy guilt for working? Yes. but working makes me a better person and therefore a better Mommy. I lost several "friends" when I went back to work (mainly from my Moms Playgroup) because they were offended that I went back to work (hello, our bank account was going backward, I have to work).
Anyway, I have watched this show, and thought it was great premise. I don't think staying home versus going to work can ever be resolved, because one shoe doesn't fit all.
