As father of five: yes, please yes.
- wincy 8y agoAre you me in fifteen years? Seriously though going on hikes with my three year old for three or four hours is amazing. We only hike about as many miles, but it’s amazing how great kids are if you just give them the chance.
- bendmorris 8y agoI don't get this mentality at all. The number one thing I wish I had was more of in life was quality daytime hours to spend with my family. It's why I have kids. I've been spoiled by paternity leave for our new little one, and I don't know how I'll cope with having to go back to work.
- rimliu 8y agoPeople and their needs are different is that so difficult?
- bendmorris 8y agoNah. Having kids is a choice. If you're going to view/treat them as a burden, just don't do it.
- laumars 8y agoI'd wager the GP was joking. I do get his point though. Some weekends are such hard work that I look forward to Monday for a break. I find it's worst when you have chores or other jobs that need to be done in the weekend and your kids, for whatever reason, take a particular objection to cooperating. So in many ways I could see a 3 day week as potentially helping there since you'd have an extra day for chores thus could work to the children's schedule a little more. That is assuming, of course, that we don't end up with two "Sundays". (in many UK suburbs Sunday can be an absolute nightmare as everything opens late and shuts early).
