[quote=Anonymous][quote]Neither extreme of parenting is good for helping kids become mature, confident, and well-adjusted adults. [/quote] I'd actually like to see a study explore if there is such a thing as spending too much time with one's kids. I think we all know some SAHMs who quit high-powered jobs to stay at home and then obsess over every aspect of their children's lives. I for one know of 2 SAHMs who have NEVER left their children with a babysitter. (kids are in middle/elementary school). The SAHM whose daughter is in middle school has had some severe emotional/social problems. I honestly wonder the degree to which these problems were exacerbated (or even cause) by having a mother whose entire life absolutely revolves around her child. (and before the flaming begins, OF COURSE this is not a generalization to all SAHMs. I'm talking about SAHMs that obsess over their children. We all know the kind I'm talking about).[/quote]
