I agree too! It's too long for adults never mind children. I gotta say to my son's credit he was really easy at the assemblies so I'm the one who was always suggesting that he need a walk, a drink or to go to the bathroom. That was my way of not sitting all day. Needless to say he was very thirsty, walked a lot and always had to go!
I do think that it's bs that the women are supposed to take the brunt of taking care of the kids. I knew moms that would have nervous breakdowns by the time the day ended.
