[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of children are being doted on excessively. I get that the 1970s "free range" parenting style is out, but it just seems like some of these SAHMs are like an activity director for their children.

Whatever happened to playpens? Remember how mothers used to drop their kids into one of those, with a few toys? Are they not allowed anymore? I'm not suggesting using them as a kennel, but can't you leave a toddler in a playpen for 45 minutes while cooking and cleaning -- while obviously keeping him in eyeshot and being available? [/quote]
That's precisely the problem.  Helicopter moms packing every day full of snowflake enriching activities that will surely result in the most perfect little socialized genius who also excels at sports, plays 3 instruments and speaks fluent Spanish to "the help".  If this is progress I'll take the 80s back any day.

Actually, i think it boils down to being a lazy and slovenly person. You can still be an psycho cruise director for your children and keep a tidy home. You dont even need a playpen. It is as simple as cleaning up after yourself. I do small things like keep clorox wipes in every bathroom. At night, i wipe the sink counters and toilet down. Guess how long that takes? 45 seconds. I do one load of laundry a day. Guess how long it takes to fold and put ONE basket of laundry away a day? Exactly 10 minuets.

If you are a pig, don't clean up after yourself and let things pile up, you will be living in a disorganized cluttered home covered in a film of filth.[/quote]

So you haven't started that OCD/anxiety treatment yet? A therapist can do wonders. [/quote]
