Please, the latter is a rough assumption.  But if you must know, my kids
come first (before my job or anything) and anything I expressed is for
the good of my children.
You ask "how does it hurt the child"?  You might recall how cruel
children can sometimes be to each other (sometimes they LOOK for someone to
tease).  I don't want my son to be the butt of a 'poke fun session' simply
because I ignored my responsibilities when he was younger.
