Last year because of the way the holidays lined up, employees of the big companies around here got a lot of weekdays off work. One dad said how great it was to be home so much.... but....he actually said, “the worst thing about the whole two weeks was how much you were closed! That was a lot of time home with the kids.” He said this to EVERY staff member and EVERY parent who was around when he was. In front of his kids. And then told them: “goodbye! Be good! I love you so much!!”
His kids are here 55 hrs per week. I can’t even look him in the eye anymore. He pays for our services so I can’t complain about that, but it’s a parenting style so very different than my own! His kids were planned and even delivered on schedule. Not sure what he thought parenting is. Soon he will be elderly and his kids will have learned from him what a family is.....
