[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in an ES and I’ve never seen a kid cry over this. There is usually a lot going on and lots of other adults around to help out. [/quote] I'm a WOHM, and most people on DCUM would excoriate me IRL. I work a lot and travel a lot. Our nanny takes kids to ortho check ups. I have missed a birthday once. I still think I'm a pretty good mom. I've also seen a kid cry in pre-school because his mom wasn't at a mother's day event. At the end of the day, though, it's not that big of a deal. She was/is a great mom who just couldn't be there that day. Stuff happens, and kids learn. If you are never there, that will likely leave a negative impact. If your are always there but not nice or unhappy (like my mom was), that will likely leave a negative impact. Parenting is hard, and we will all do things that make our kids cry at one point or another. That doesn't mean we are bad parents.[/quote]
