[quote=Anonymous]Go with aftercare but line up backup options for sick days or school holidays when you and DH can’t WFH. Keep the cleaners for sure. I am of the opinion that it’s nice for parents to grocery shop and run errands with their kids. Kids get exposure to different venues; it’s a learning opportunity and a chance to pick up new interests (hey let’s try out that cool-looking fruit, I didn’t know that’s how they glued tiles together...). Also, kids should learn to take responsibility by making their own beds and neatening up their toys. The extreme luxury of having everything done for them, and their entire lives outside of school be focused on leisure, may ultimately be poor preparation for the real world.[/quote]
