My son who is 11 wanted to show me something on the computer that he had done for school; I had to tell him to wait until after daycare was over.
My oldest HATES daycare. He hates being woken up by kids screaming on non-school days, hates that our house is filled with baby stuff, hates that our home is filled with other peoples kids 11 hours a day.
see, I always stop and chat with my kids, they may have to follow me in the daycare room but we always chat, heck I make them help me and we talk about the day.
