I honest to God could have cried at the thoughts of parents dreading having that kind of time with their kids. So after maybe 10 minutes of it, I said something. Which I hate to do but I'm stressed anyway so fuck it.

They'll blink and it'll be over. It was like that for me it seemed even though I took off every day that my son had off from school and until he didn't want to spend that kind of time with me anymore, I spent that time with him hiking, going to the zoo, just doing stuff. No regrets.

I think parents who don't spend time with their kids probably don't want to because they never have.
