Public school gives us time apart.
I do love them, but I don’t think it’s wrong to say that I need a break from my kids. This is a lesson I’m learning over and over again. When they come home from school, we’re all glad to see each other.
The same is true for the kids needing time apart from each other. My kids are intense (do they get it from me?) and so their time at school is helpful for everyone.
