[quote=Anonymous]They need you less in terms of sheer time and physical labor. But perhaps more in terms of emotional work? Like - figuring out how to make sure they stay on top of math on a daily basis w/out a power struggle or undermining their self-motivation. Making sure you enforce standards in the house (like speaking respectfully, chores) while still keeping a strong bond. Timewise MS does start to be different because I do a lot of chauffeuring to places I wouldn’t chose on my own, as opposed to toddlers that you can tote along wherever on your errands. [/quote]
