I hate this children-centrific notion that modern world puts on us. Makes me be wary of having kids.
When I was a kid of 10, my parents had to work a lot to provide for a family so naturally I came from school, ate some food and proceed tinkering with my PC, studyind and reading books. I would certainly not be happier having helicopter mom or dad around. I didn't have that much appetite for communication these days.
So naturally I don't understand why everybody is expected to drive children around and watch them constantly.
Of course this doesn't apply to very small children who I'm in totall loss how to handle.

- tdicola 12y agoThere's quite a difference between a 10 week old child and a 10 year old child.
- jcromartie 12y agoI'm absolutely fine with giving my kids space. That doesn't mean I don't want to be around to see them, though.
- guard-of-terra 12y agoWell, my parents saw enough of me, I don't feel that I missed anything. There are evenings, there are vacations, all the things. It's just I didn't had a solid schedule of them helicoptering me daily.
