Working parents

I just wanted to share a parent’s pov in regards to the recent post about how long our babies are in your care.

Trust me, most of us would rather spend more time with our babies but sadly in this society we need both incomes to be able to support our family.

But here’s a basic breakdown for a full time 40hrs/week employee: 7:30 drop off 8:00 arrive at work 12:00 30 mins lunch 4:30 off work & drive to daycare 5:00 pickup

That’s a total of 9.5 hours.

Yes, it’s a lot but it’s what we have to do. 10 hours is NOT a long time for someone to be away for working hours. Please stop shaming us for trying to provide for our families.

We are SO incredibly thankful for you & most days are jealous of the fact that you get to spend more time with our babies. I leave a piece of my heart with you every day.
