It is such a waste. Eight year olds are such fun to talk to. Or even not to talk, but just to sit with. One time I remember clearly when I was withdrawing somewhat, and one of my son's friends who was over was up early and came and sat next to me on the couch in the early morning for maybe half an hour, and apart from my offering him food, we said nothing........I don't know why (maybe it was the hint of manly reticence?) it was a wonderful experience and I felt so much warmth for him and remember it clearly almost ten years later.
Understanding maths! Goodness me.
