[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do working parents think they don't need aftercare? Its not your kid's fault for not wanting to be along and entertain himself. [/quote]

[b]I think the question should be “how can people be actually working when they are watching a young child?” [/b]
I have a job with a lot of flexibility over the summer, so my kids aren’t in camp every single week, but that means I’m working at night after they’re in bed.[/quote]

They can't. The child is either on screens, or the parent is not focused on work which is not fair to the employer. I get that most parents don't care though. [/quote]

My almost 6 yo Kindergartener doesn’t need to be ‘watched’ when she’s home and Dh and I are finishing work. Of course she is at home and we are aware of what she’s doing like playing with her dolls in the basement or coloring or playing in the backyard (my office overlooks the backyard) but she is mature enough to be independent at home. Your kid might not be capable of this but many kids are.[/quote]
