One of my dcm is a teacher as well and her absolutely lovely and adorable daughter was here the WHOLE week of spring break last week 7:30 to 5 pm. Where was mom? At home hanging out.
Here is the kicker my ds came down with a stomach bug and I closed on Wednesday, and I gave parents the choice of bringing their children on Thursday and Friday and I wasn't going to charge them. This mom chose to bring her child both Thursday and Friday. My ds even threw up in the hallway (tile) on the way to the bathroom in front of her. And she was still chose to leave her daughter
I guess watching tv is more important than time with your children.
I would give anything to have a whole week off or a whole summer off and hang out with my amazing, brilliant and hilarious kids.
