Some parents who don't want to be around their kids

I think it would depend on how the child was parented once getting home from daycare. My oldest (9) went to daycare full time but I dropped her off as late as I could and picked her up as early as I could while I went to University. If I was going to be held up at school or needed extra studying time then I would have my Mom or Dad pick her up so she wouldn't be there too long. My time with my daughter after daycare was ALL about her. She and I now have a very close, affectionate relationship...she WANTS to be heavy into computer games, lol, but that has a time limit But if a child was in daycare from 7:30-5:30 then rushed home and the parent was too exhausted/stressed to pay them any notice while they cleaned, cooked, rested, etc then I can see how those relationships would be distant
