[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think its sad that no one really wants to be a primary parent to these kids. [/quote] My kids don't have a "primary parent." They have two parents who work full time in relatively low paid and flexible jobs, like it sounds like OP and her husband. They are in either school or paid childcare from 8:45-3:30 and 9-4:30 or 5, respectively. Our household and childcare loads are pretty equal, although my husband is way better at getting down on the floor and playing legos or trains, i prefer to either take them outside or read with them. I don't think they are neglected, or that spending 7-8 hours in school or day care is sad. Maybe the difference is that OP and her husband want the other person to be primary parent so they can step back and focus on their careers, whereas in my family we've basically both decided to have our careers come second.
