Sad to say you phone the grandparents and offer up your children to them for a week each set. Then you take 2 weeks holiday and then your partner takes 2 weeks holiday. Weeks covered....
This puzzles me to. I've lived opposite a school for 25 years. In that time there's been a huge increase in driving to school. Is some of it from parents dropping children off on the way to work and back? When every minute counts?
1. As a parent do not be available 24/7. 2. Do not become a taxi service. 3. Give a small pocket money and make sure jobs are done in return for extra money. 4. Make your children share in planning and cooking meals.
Would it be a good idea to have a few places where people could leave their unwanted plastic bags in parks to help dog owners who've not got a bag to pick up with ?I don't own a dog but I just wondered if this was practical?
