Hm. I think you need a balance. And not about getting less mum and dad time, but that you do get play time with other children. Already we have schools struggling because children aren’t developed enough at home. Deeper than that is whether children grow up with a strong bond to their parents, or, in a deep and often inexpressible way, feel abandoned. I’d rather a child be less classroom-developed in early years than feel unloved.

Bringing a child to work seems worse - they can’t play with toys or engage in what they want at all anymore.

Luckily, toys are portable. A good child-friendly workplace would have space for toy-playing I think!

Thanks for sharing your perspective, though. I appreciate seeing different experiences of parents.
