I think that it is wrong!<BR/>My own situation, when my wife was off maternity leave, I reduced and altered my work schedule.

Here in the states, we're used to Mother's Day Out, which is often run by a church and offers child care Tuesday/Thursday for four or five hours a day. I used it the last two semesters of finishing my master's degree--it was just the right length of time to get to campus, go to my classes, and get back. But I waited until my daughter started first grade to return English Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191669597257396380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325344.post-1111364492307981632005-03-21T10:21:00.000+10:002005-03-21T10:21:00.000+10:00TY Ladies your opinions are very much appreciated ...TY Ladies your opinions are very much appreciated :)<BR/><BR/>I tried not to put forward my personal opinion in the article and just state what the facts are.<BR/>My own personal opinion doesn't differ to any of you. However, my own story...because "A" is an only child, i really thought it would be to her benefit socially wise, to attend 10 hrs a week, which was 2 half days.

The children come home to an empty house from school and care for themselves because their parents are working or out making time for themselves.
