[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our parents in many cases worked fewer hours, had shorter commutes, and more family help. They were probably in better shape too, so more energetic.[/quote] ...and younger[/quote] And a lot of that family help was other siblings. I think today because our kids are so busy with academics and sports and other extracurriculars that we feel they need to land a college acceptance letter, we demand less of them around the house and less babysitting of younger siblings as well.[/quote] Siblings and extended family - aunts and uncles, grandparents, etc. I know plenty of people who have large stretches of weekends free while grandparents take care of the children. Families weren't entirely on their own as much as they are now.[/quote]
