Reply To: Why I'm going to let my kids run around in shul

Greater than my ability (or inability) to daven in a minyan every day, is my wife’s strength to stay home with our kids until they are old enough to daven in shul with proper derech. I have unending admiration and respect for my wife – for what is essentially a sacrifice she makes (not davening in shul when I know she would like to) for the greater benefit of the family.
