Actually, it's not all quite that dramatic. I like having my kid at home and the fact that I only have 1 kid helps with that mentality a lot. I do enjoy spending time with her though of course, I enjoy those few hours that she spends with the grandparents every so often, which happens just once or twice a month. I never wanted to be one of those parents who drops off their kid/s every weekend at the grandparents while during the week the kid is at daycare while parents works. Seriously, what's the point of having a kid if you never spend time with the child?
During the school year, it gets so busy it feels like I never see my own kid so I'm looking forward to this summer. I like our family day trips whether to someplace fun and different or just out running errands together. It's not just idle time. I usually have a planned educational hour everyday, whether it'll be practicing her recorder, reading a book together, doing an art and craft project and other such activities. This year I'm adding astronomy to the learning lessons and I can't wait for a late night or two looking through my telescope to show her the wonders of the universe.
