Do you play with your daughter frequently when you are out of work ?

My husband and feel happy to play with our son at home even though when he has grown up now. When my son was young we used to play with him more often. This left behind lots of sweet memories when we were playing with our kid.

When I am home, of course I will spend time with my son. As I have to go out to work in day time. So I have to leave some time with my son when I am home. I think this is very important to keep a close relationship with our child.

I agree many parents do that. And you are right about feeling angry about that. I have a daughter(10 year old) and I do spend time with her as I know that when she grows up, she may want to spend time with her friends more. So now is my chance to spend time with her. we both like to draw. so We sometimes draw and paint together. We also sometimes go for walk together. But then, I work from home as a homebased tutor. Having said that, most parents work to give a better chance to their children. Balancing work and family is really a difficult task, especially for mothers.

Yes, over here, couples don't care for their children like the older generation did! That's why there are a lot of grandparents raising their grandkids!

I was a preschool teacher for 8 years. I started working in a daycare because I couldn't go back to work after my first child was born & leave her with someone else, so I had to find a job where I could take her with me. I have 5 of my own children, and my man brought 2 to the relationship, so I now have 7. Working drove me crazy because while my kids were in the same building as me, I was still taking care of other people's children while someone else was taking care of mine. I had kids so that I could raise them, not so someone else could. Also, after being in the daycare/ preschool for a while I started really getting upset with the way other people raised their children. I know what you're saying. There was one family that brought their kid in with a candy bar for breakfast every day.... there are way worse stories I could tell you about the things I've seen, but bottom line. I felt like NO ONE wanted to take the responsibility on of being a good parent anymore. There were far too many families that would bring their kids to the center even if THEY had the day off work! I try to spend as much time as I can with my kids. It's so important to form those bonds & have a strong family structure. It isn't just being your child's "friend" either. It's about being a parent. My fiance and I have been together for almost 2 years now, and we've gone on I think 4 dates total...lol... the rest of the time we've gone on family outings with the kids. For me it's all about the kids. I had them, I'm responsible for them, they are my world & I love them all.
