But the repeat offenders are the ones that bother me. These children are with me for the majority of their awake hours ALL WEEK LONG! They would hugely benefit from spending a day home with their parents, and the fact that the parents choose not to spend time with their child amazes me! You can not get these years back!
I have a dcb who is here EVERY day (except once) dcm has off. During Christmas, the whole family except dcb went to grandma's to make Christmas cookies.
Dcb is a good little guy so I don't get it. Sad and you're right, you can't get these years back, just wish some people would see that.
