Isn't that the point of having a business?

I think it is because we see the value in a good parent/child relationship and kids who miss their parents a great deal. At least this is where I am coming from. I provide childcare but I don’t want to work 12 hour days and I don’t think it is necessary in most cases, however the providers who provide care for 12 hours a day for minimum fees are my direct competition. Its sad. Kinda like getting your money from a gambling addict, sure its money but sometimes you feel bad for the person. They seem to value the money spent above their kids.
I don’t think anyone is talking about a day here or there off without the kids and I think it is just a general assessment of parents today.
