That should be not continue to condone but condemn but my fingers were going faster than my brain.
I've posted this before, a quote from a boarding school website but I do find the way they speak of children, as though they're nothing more than an inconvenience and an irritation, very disturbing.
''At home these days often both parents work. It is even more difficult if you are a single parent family.
It is human nature to get tired. Running a job, running a house, buying the groceries, washing the clothes, supervising homework, and still having the energy to play with them and take them on trips so every waking hour of every day is packed full of enjoyment and learning?'
'Ensure they get washed, toe nails cut, hair done nicely, home projects for school completed ~ and a nice relaxing bed time story???? To achieve all this nowadays you have to be superman or superwomen!!'
'A recent study showed that paying the extra to board your child rather than send them as a day pupil is money well spent and can in fact save you money overall. Parents often forget just what it costs to keep and bring up a child these days. Boarding is a very sensible option. How many parents find they often become a glorified taxi driver for their children?'
