Getting Over the Guilt of Putting Children in After Care

Today I had the most surprising revelation. I was having a conversation with my sister and has relieved my mind of something that has been plaguing me all year. So far, I get my child after treatment for a few days a week. When I'm out of town to go after the attention of every day outside the city. Often the mother would pick him up early. She believes that a 5 year aftercare be establishing a long day for a child. She believes that having a mother at home with their children is the best option of all, if possible. She was home with us all the time growing up and she and my father sacrificed much for her to stay home with the kids. I remember at home. After school we have freshly baked cookies, some sliced apples and then go to see who was around. I remember playing ball with the neighborhood kids, pickles, Batman and Robin, and good old fashioned hide and seek. We also played "Mother May I", "Simon Says" and "Barbie" for hours. We all play in the backyard with my best friend Leda, and swim parties Meg. "It was a great way to grow and always a lot of fun. Fast forward 30 + years and you've got? Today there are working mothers and fathers, children and go home to empty houses and turn on the TV or video games for hours. Children are not allowed out without parental guidance most of the time, because why? not safe! We have all heard of children who have been driven from the city center American monsters who prey on children. All swear that they will be our children, so do everything possible to protect them, keep them at home! We sent them to neighbors or the babysitter! We put them in any sport or activity you can imagine! Or send aftercare! When I realized that the fun we had to play after school, can really grow again only after CARE, which is when I loose and lost the sense of guilt. First of all days I am working full time, have learned to use "after care" as a reward he deserves. Our son gets to go to after treatment, if you had a good day with a good behavior. No wonder you love it to run, climb and kick the ball with his friends. They get plenty of exercise, healthy snacks and get to play without being inside the television. On rainy days the gym and play basketball or soccer and persecution. Older children do homework together. There is also a real camaraderie among the older boys. I love it Then why do I feel so guilty, I think you live with a very old game of standards. I remember it was for me to grow and play in front of my house. I knew my mother was a few steps and there was some peace in this regard. But what he saw? In addition to the sandwiches are GOOD BYE MOM up dinner! If I were to allow my son to ride a bike or play around outside with other children at 5 years, but I think that would be there watching every move he made. I would make sure the car not driving too fast, or that teenagers do not take it. I would be sitting in the yard barking over the phone or reading materials or my laptop, but I would not ... the garden to him and other children. Working mothers tend to accept guilt as part of their lives. If you work full time who want more time with their children. If they are "staying in mothers and housewives," then it is not often guilt to not take home any income. A part-time is often a great alternative, but not available to everyone all the time. But I threw the guilt today! I'm celebrating my feeling again found to give my baby the best possible scenario for how we live our lives today. I'm giving you the opportunity to play freely, without a mother beside him watching his every move. I know it is safe. I know you know you are watching and playing . And now I know I can work comfortably with the reassurance that I wanted ... and 5, I realize more and take my son and make him dinner, put on your bed, and I know I did my best for him ... by sending him after the priest!
