[quote=Anonymous]This is not universal, but kids are pretty self-absorbed and often times only notice what you tell them or say in front of them. I remember both parents being present for all my school and sports events. It wasn't until I was an adult that my parents admitted that when I was around 8-13, my Dad had an extremely stressful job with a long commute. I remember him always being there - but later conversations revealed that he mostly just barely made the tail end of every event due to his schedule. But the memories I have of seeing him at swim meets, choir concerts, etc. are priceless and I wouldn't have absorbed how late he was to these events unless the household "talk" was about his lateness. Also, he spent every weekend with us - very few instances of him going out drinking or playing sports with buddies. [/quote]
