Excuses are just that excuses. If you are working then your employer HAS to allow you the time to go to these classes. If they do not then they are interfering with the courts. Courts hate that. If you really do want time with your child FIND a way to make it to the classes. It's easy to excuse it to "I don't have time" but when it comes to our children we make time, that is how they know we love them.
