I’m disappointed but not surprised at the number of responses here that totally discount the value of having a healthy relationship with a spouse and instead are fixated on a child missing a few days of kindergarten or watching too much TV. What matters is whether your child will be safe (physically, emotionally). If so, you should take the time and appreciate the free childcare. Make sure you’re getting time alone with your spouse, because making that bond strong and happy is so much more positive for your child’s development than anything negative that would happen by missing a few days of kindergarten or watching too much TV or having too much sugar.
