Why on earth bother to have children, then leave them with someone else all day
-
-
When I was young, yes.

Hmmm. I'm not sure that's terribly healthy. Fortunately, apart from some separation anxiety for a few months when she was two, my daughter always loved to go to grandparents, aunts, friends and nursery. She's in France right now at 13 with no anxiety at all.

Mine also stayed with grandparents when young, are all at different unis and have worked abroad for the summer, and have vast social circles.
-
But you always wanted to be with your mum? And never got bored? Didn't want to go to nursery and play with kids your own age?
-
Who said I didn't play with kids my own age. Living in Cornwall, we were always at the beach. My idea of heaven then, and now
-
But you wanted your mother to always be with you?
-
I already said I stayed with grandparents. I had freedom but I always knew my mother was around for me
-
Ah, well that's different. My daughter always knew I was around and would come if she needed me too.
