Parent on Vacation

[gcj]

Really? I don't begrudge parents of small children wanting a little "me time". The times I get pissed off about it is when either the kid KNOWS the parent is off and ditching them at daycare, or when the parents are still LATE for pick up. I mean, on principle, I think it's a little weird to not want to spend time with your kid, but I also get how hard and tiring it is to have small kids, so if I was paying for daycare, I'd likely send my littles even if I was home. Shrug.

A week's vacation, and you're dropping your kids with me every day? That's just sad and mean.

A little "me time" is one thing. The post was started about 2 weeks vacation and the child here full-time the entire 2 weeks! That's not a little me time. That's screwed up priorities.

For sure. I was commenting on the whole thing, of parents going home to make dinner, or taking kids to daycare on days off, not just about the original post. Other posters before me were doing the same.

I totally agree with you. Please see the last sentence of my post.
