[quote=Anonymous]I'm an immigrant and I'm not into my family. My parents still live in the old country, and I see my sister, who lives 30 minutes away, about 5 times a year. I just really don't care for the playdate stuff or birthdays. My parents had really easy time raising us because it was done by the government through daycare and schools. The rest of the time children simply roamed free. I wish for the easiness my parents had, and I don't want to have to drive my kids back and forth- something my parent never had to do. Call me lazy. Kids are a lot of work, especially in US where you can't leave them alone for a second. They can play with their friends at school, in aftercare or when we happened to go to playground. I will also give them a lot of free time to do whatever when in middle school. I feel like a hostage when the playdates and birthdays come up. [/quote]
