I hate this children-centrific notion that modern world puts on us. Makes me be wary of having kids.

When I was a kid of 10, my parents had to work a lot to provide for a family so naturally I came from school, ate some food and proceed tinkering with my PC, studyind and reading books. I would certainly not be happier having helicopter mom or dad around. I didn't have that much appetite for communication these days.

So naturally I don't understand why everybody is expected to drive children around and watch them constantly.

Of course this doesn't apply to very small children who I'm in totall loss how to handle.
