I totally agree. Luckily for me I have a son and hopefully he will never want to wear short shorts or skirts lol. (Unless he ends up like my Dad...oops did I just say that? haha) Anyway, as for spending time with your children...well I've only had a job for two days now...he comes to work with me. I'm fortunate for that, but even when I had a job a couple of years ago that he couldn't tag along with, I still managed to spend a whole lot of time with him.
Of course I was blessed with a really awesome kid, so it's actually fun to hang out with him. Plus I'm still young myself so we enjoy the same things haha. Doing the best I can and hoping that I don't screw him up.
