Am I the only one in the world of parents who simply hate play spaces and think they are all either germ-infested, over crowded, over priced, and socially awkward? I hate pretending I want to talk to Mom A just because her ds is the same age as my ds. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

No. I work but I think its delusional to believe that young children are accessories to your full, vibrant life. I work because I am good at it but right now my #1 job is my family and if I have to do things I don't always enjoy I do no less for my paying gig. [ Reply | More
