Why Kids Thrive in Day Care, Explained

Disgruntled mom #1: I told you kids to behave! I’m going to tell your father about this! No treats for you today, no treats! [To Disgruntled mom #2] They never listen to me.

Disgruntled mom #2: So, have you decided whether you’re going to go back to work instead of your husband?
