Grandparents aren't around, so it's either the child home alone or a day camp. My friend is judging me for not taking unpaid leave. She is taking it. Seriously, I don't understand what parents usually do? Does everyone really take unpaid leave?!" P.S. I think it's boring and lonely for my child to be home all day. He hasn't made friends yet, like, to hang out with all day.

I haven't stuck my fingers in an electrical outlet since I was a kid. I'd leave them home and come back for lunch. If not, there was food in the fridge and a microwave in the kitchen. We managed somehow.

She stays home. She's never bored. She only sleeps until lunchtime. She only goes to summer camp.
