I didnt read all the posts, but parents on vacation or not... they are aloud to use the daycare so why would they pick up earlier. Yes its sad they dont spend that much time with their kid. In Quebec, I use to pay 7$ a day for daycare. I often had my kids with me, as much as I could, but here in Ontario, its so darn expensive, they want to have their moneys worth I guess. Yes again its sad that its on their child ''expense''.

Parents are tired and exhausted and like their time off alone, I find especially dads. Although we are tired and exhausted... all the way until our closing time, well its the profession we chose right ?!?!
