Long Time No See
Friday, January 15th, 2010I worry about not seeing my child enough.
During a typical work weekday, here’s what Coral does with which people:
Notice the giant slice at daycare and the tiny slices with Mom, Dad, or both.
If you look at a whole week including weekends, then it’s not as bad:
The time with parents is more than the time at daycare overall, which is encouraging. But gosh. That’s a lot of time for a person not even 2 years old to be with people who aren’t her parents.
I’m not complaining. I know it has to be this way. I’m just saying I wish I could have dinner with my girl and tuck her in bed every night. But it just doesn’t work that way. I have to be satisfied with weekends and a few minutes 2 days a week. I guess I just hope that parents who have the luxury of spending more time with their kids realize what they have and what they’re giving to their kids that I can’t, and appreciate it.
