Monday - Best Day Of The Week?
AdventureDad | May 12I’ve recently run into some parents who apparently can’t stand their kids. Friday has now become the worst day of the week. Because one “must” actually spend time with the darn child during the weekend instead of delegating this to day care. This unfortunately seems to be a growing trend as well. Is this a sign some parents shouldn’t have kids or are there other explanations?
What puzzles me is the parents with this “Monday syndrome” usually only have one child and no special issues. Kid is healthy, not handicapped, behaves well, and causes little extra work. Still, there is this terrible anxiety of over spending a weekend together as a family.
Having a child at day care from 8-5 leaves very little time together during the week. Dinner and then an hour or so before the little one goes to bed. Throw in some business trips and client dinners and there is even less time available. I’m kind of questoning the reason to have a child if one desperately want to avoid spending time together. What’s the point?
