[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone said to me when my kids were little that the years to be an especially present for them were middle school years. This is so true. I now have older kids. Middle schools get out early in the afternoon with little structure offered for them in the afternoon of things to do and they are going through a ton at that age. They need and want emotional and social support and more than changing a diaper, it does make a difference if it’s you providing it vs someone you pay vs no one doing it at all. My advice is think big picture about your career path and finances to plan for being around more during this time in their life.[/quote] So I guess to answer the post no I wouldn’t be offended. I’d think the person was kind of clueless and had a lot of ego when they haven’t really experienced parenting at all. People who are so sure of themselves and want to tell everyone about it…I’m always skeptical.[/quote]
