Is when my friends say they couldn't bare having the kids around them all day.
I don't deny that my boys can do my head in at times but what I do know is that I'm less patient and loving with them whenever they've not been around for a while and they come back. My friends talk as if they shouldn't have their kids at home, that they should give birth and then send them away for over half of their waking day once they hit four, or sometimes before. Yes, some parents have no choice but to say they can't bare it and it would drive them nuts to have them at home just seems so wrong. :(
In just over 100 years we have taught parents that we shouldn't tolerate our children being around us for more than a few waking hours each day. :(
