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.
Well, my parents saw enough of me, I don't feel that I missed anything. There are evenings, there are vacations, all the things. It's just I didn't had a solid schedule of them helicoptering me daily.

There's quite a difference between a 10 week old child and a 10 year old child.
New bord are effectively different, and I had no idea either how to handle them until day 1 of Sara. I even never changed a diaper before that day!
I'm absolutely fine with giving my kids space. That doesn't mean I don't want to be around to see them, though.
