[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Competitive world of social media parenting: look at us baking cookies together etc [/quote] No, intensive mothering predates social media by at least a decade. I personally think it's a reflection of the generalized anxiety percolating in certain economic classes, fear that our children won't do better than we do. It may also be a reaction to the divorce explosion in the 1970s and 1980s and the era of "latchkey kids." Also, there's just a lot more people in the country than there were 30 years ago and resources are more scarce. [/quote]
