God protect us(we need all the help we can get) from the perfect Parent who, given the first opportunity, will jump on your back and slap you repeatedly about the head. The answer is to carry a very big stick to beat them off, I've mine for 4 years now works a treat. The perfect parent is usually to be found raising a few psychopaths and possibly a serial killer and the reason: too busy telling the rest of us what to do.

I know what it is like to be a working parent with all the stresses that go with it and you seem to have missed my point.

If Sally's baby is not well enough to go to daycare the last thing she needs is to be separated from a familiar face when she is unwell plus it would be equally stressful for Sally aswell.
I did not profess to be "the perfect parent" and have raised three balanced children who are certainly not psychopaths but very worthwhile members of society.
