Kids at Office
Some times, I wish that my kids can go home straight after school instead of tugging with us at the office after a long day. If I have a nanny or a helper, I would definitely send them back home after school ends at 4.30pm. They spend such long hours at school, and by waiting for us at the office for another 2 hours or more, they have missed up the whole day of being at home. By the time dinner was fixed and served, it’s almost 8pm. Just imagine if I want to tug them in by 9.30pm, they will only have a little time for home work and play. 
I used to joke to them that we are not staying in a house, it’s just a hostel. LOL! Everyone just come back to Zzzz… and off we go the next morning. But we are trying to let the kids enjoy the TV and play time at home on Saturdays, which explains why I canceled their art class, and didn’t enroll them to another extra activities on the weekends. I do feel that we are not spending a lot of time at home.
I wonder if how other parents with kids tugging along at work feel about this? Are we spending too much time at the office, and how your kids feel about this? But then, it might be a good experience for kids to see how their parents work, as long as we keep them away from the manufacturing site and harmful or cleaningstains like Anilox.
My kids will be very happy if we leave early, especially when hubby is on business trip or dinner with customers. They will be so thrilled just to come home early and slack on the couch.
True!!!! I guess these days kids realli miss out a lot of their playtime compare to kids in our era. After reading what you have share, it seems that this is what we have over here too… early in the morning, rey will goes to school, then my mum’s place till I back from work around 7pm, then we will have our dinner and go back home… haiz. If kids will to go to childcare from 7 – 7pm it will even more poor things….
