sd          A.1 utt1:  {F Uh, } I've had, {F uh, } three boys through, I guess, {F uh, } some child care,  each one of them  /
sd          A.1 utt2: {C and } now they're in school  /
sd          A.1 utt3: {C so } it's all over  /
sv          A.1 utt4: {C but, }  {F uh, } I guess I would say it's not easy to find [ wha-, + what ] most parents would want. /  

sd          @B.2 utt1:  {D Well } I can profit by this because I'm due with my first in about three months. /  

b          A.3 utt1:  Is that right <laughter>.   /
sd          A.3 utt2: I guess, {F uh, } the only rule, {F uh, } I can think of is that I like to look for places with, {F uh, } good respectable, nonprofit behind them like a university or a hospital or something like that.  /
sv          A.3 utt3:  If they're associated with a college or a university, they're usually a pretty good bet. /  

b          B.4 utt1:  {F Huh. } /  

sv          A.5 utt1:  {F Uh, } I think it's sort of the opposite of what you would want when you buy a car or refrigerator something.  /
sv          A.5 utt2: You'd like to get it from some good cutthroat capitalist <sigh> company but not with <laughter> child care. /  

aa          B.6 utt1:  I guess not,  /
%          B.6 utt2: usu-, - /
aa          B.6 utt3: I suppose you're absolutely right there. /

+          A.9 utt1:  -- places, I would really look at them awfully carefully  /
sd          A.9 utt2: {C but, }  {F uh, } <inhaling> [ when I was + <breathing> when my kids were ] young, I was teaching at a university  /
sd          A.9 utt3: {C and, } {F uh, } the child care center <noise> associated with our university was quite good  /
sd          A.9 utt4: {C so } --   

b          B.10 utt1:  Uh-huh. /

+@          A.15 utt1:  {E I mean } actual experiments they would have to get your permission.  /
ny          A.15 utt2:  {C But, } yeah,  /
sv^e          A.15 utt3: I suppose, {F uh, } [ if you're, + if there ] is a psychology department or an education department around, [ you might find + you might find  ] that they're pushing one form of education or another,  /
aa          A.15 utt4: I guess that's true.  /
sd          A.15 utt5: {C But, }  {F uh, } <swallowing> I never had bad experience in that respect <sniffing>.  /
sd          A.15 utt6:  Of course, <swallowing> you also tend to get people that are associated with the university and the hospital as the parents,  /

sv          A.15 utt8: pretty good people <sniffing>. -/  

sd          B.16 utt1:  {F Um. }  {D Well, } the thing I really worry about is, {F uh, } the sexual abuse cases you read about. /  

b          A.17 utt1:  Uh-huh. /  

sv          B.18 utt1:  {C And } {E I mean } you'd just feel awful if something like that happened. /  

aa          A.19 utt1:  Yeah.  /
sd          A.19 utt2: I never really worry very much about it.  /

b          B.22 utt1:  Oh. /  

sv          A.23 utt1:  {F Uh, } [ I, + {D you know, } I ] think those things get into the headlines immediately when somebody finds out about them  /

sd          B.28 utt2: {C and } [ they finding, + in some cases they're finding ] it's just not worth it to work because it's all going out in daycare. /  

b          A.29 utt1:  Right. /  

b          B.30 utt1:  {F Um. } /  

sd          A.31 utt1:  {D Well, } in our case, we made the decision that my wife would stay home until the boys were, {F uh, } in school.  /
sd          A.31 utt2: {C And } I'm really happy we did it, although it was very, very difficult.  #  /

aa          B.42 utt1:  I suppose. /  

sv          A.43 utt1:  {C But } I think, {D you know, } you have to look through a place  /
sv          A.43 utt2: {C and } you have to get a feel for, {F uh, } how they treat the kids  and, {F uh, } {F uh, } what kind of staff members they have  and --   

b          B.44 utt1:  Uh-huh. /

sv          A.47 utt2: {C And  } [ I think you have, + the main thing is that you have ] to determine that they're perfectly open.   That you're welcome anytime without notice, in the middle of the day and so forth  /
sv          A.47 utt3: {C and } if they're at all queasy about that then --

b          A.55 utt1:  Uh-huh.  /
sv          A.55 utt2: [ {C So. }  + {C But, } ]  I really think the news reports [ are, + {F uh, } tend ] to sensationalize the problems. /  

b          B.56 utt1:  Uh-huh. /  

sv          A.57 utt1:  I think the problems are more ones of cost and resources and, {F uh, } pay and  exhaustion and # <laughter>, #
