[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option 2. I work as I like to work. I'd love to stay at home with my children, but frankly, I think I would get bored. I'd rather have more time when they are older. [/quote] While I agree that kids continue to need parental presence even as they get older, it's a fallacy that you actually spend more time with them during middle and high school. When they're little, they need you all the time. Older kids are far too busy with their own friends and activities to need you nearly as much.[/quote] Yes, we realize they don't "need" us in the same sense that little kids do. They "need" us to make sure they don't do stupid shit that can ruin their lives. [/quote] Guess what? Parents that get home at 6 o'clock can do that too, especially those who have kids that are busy with sports and extracurricular s and aren't home any earlier. [/quote]
