I spent my weekend neglecting my children
Why did you think it was okay to neglect your children?
I needed more time to rest and work.
Neglecting your children is a bad thing to do. You have a responsibility towards them to take care of them.
You are trying to tell me what to do. Don't question me and stay out of my life.
When you have children, you've made the choice to care for them, and neglecting them is not okay. If you need time to rest or work, you should find someone else who can take care of them for you on the weekends.
