[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were very rigid criteria around this for me when I was a child, but yes, I got one or two days off a year with my mom. The reality is, we all need a sanity check. It's so important for children to learn rules and responsibilities, but it's also important for them to learn that breaking SOME rules is ok, too. I was never allowed to do this if I had a test or homework due that day, and I think that's the key. It was not TOTAL irresponsibility, it was enjoying the day, within the structure of being aware of our duties. If nothing was due that day, and if there were no tests, once or twice a year my mom would take me out in Manhattan, or to the park, and we just enjoy being together. Some of my happiest memories...[/quote] I had great memories with my parents. All of them were during non-school hours![/quote]
