[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is such BS, it’s not about intensive parenting. It’s about having two working parents required to just get by, and then really expensive housing which makes everything else harder to manage and afford. [b]There was a lot easier lifestyle where without intensive parenting, when you had a parent, who was home to take care of everything related to the kids as well as clean and cook[/b].[/quote] But this goes along with intensive parenting. A lot of what people claim is a necessary expense and why a second salary is necessary, really isn’t. No iPhones for kids Community college for kids or in-state at the most Kids share bedrooms No or very few activities for kids Limited travel. Maybe one week vacation every year I could go on… ^^do the above and your expenses go down dramatically. [/quote]
