[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article’s title is click bait. She clearly cares about her children but also cares about her work and like many people is finding it difficult to balance the two. Why are white people so obsessed with birthdays? I think this is why white people are so self absorbed. My mom was a cleaning lady and my dad was a janitor who worked two jobs. They did miss a couple or birthdays (working all day) and it was sad but I moved on. We were raised in a loving family and spending time together was important. We were lucky to be surrounded by loving grandparents and aunts and uncles who took care of us when our parents were busy. My husband and I are both doctors and I try my best to balance life and work and sometimes one comes before the other but overall my kids are well loved and will hopefully grow up knowing the importance of family and hard work. My mom used to take us to cleaning jobs with her sometimes and we loved it although we would sometimes complain about the work. Unfortunately I can’t take my kids to my job but I do ask them to help around the house. They grumble but it’s okay :) [/quote]

This.

The best parents actually miss things and let their kids be disappointed about meaningless sh*t every once in a while. [/quote]
