I've seen people in our friends circles that can't be bothered with their kids when they are out and look for excuses to get rid of them.
I never understood this. When my girls were in school, so many parents would say how they dreaded the holidays and having to keep them entertained, so I assumed this was default. I was so relieved when I spoke to one mum and asked her if she was ready for the holidays and having them at home and she said she loved having them home.
