Exactly. As a teenager I was more than happy to have my parents spend the day at work, as long as work-related stress didn't get brought back. It would have been quite annoying if they were around me all the time.

- toasterlovin 9y agoYou know, it doesn’t have to be this way. Make parenting work for you. After all, simply by making your children, you’ve already given them the incredible gift of life. There’s no need to also spend every waking hour attending to them.
