[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have four kids.  
I do bedtime reading with all of them together.  We roll out sleeping bags on the floor, and I sit in the poang chair in my oldest son’s room.  After that, the younger two go to bed, and DH and I talk for a while with the older two, sometimes all together.  Sometimes 1:1.

I usually make dinner and help with homework simultaneously.  Kids don’t need you hovering over them while they do their homework, but they need you to be available if they have questions.

They do have to be more independent than some of their peers.  We taught them to ride bikes early and showed them how to get places they want to go.  They have to be responsible for a lot of their own things.  They have to help out around the house.  [/quote]

You really aren't parenting them much based on what you are saying compared to many other parents.  No support with homework, they are responsible for their own transportation, things and needs.  They are treated as a group rather than an individual.  Some of the kids rarely to never get 1-1, which should be daily.[/quote]
