[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can all agree that raising children in the year 2017 is a lot more work than doing it in 1957. Back then the emphasis was much more on adult relationships and everything revolved around the man's needs. Now it revolves around the children. Uou used to shoo them outside and make them play on their own all day. Now you are supposed to be actively engaging and enriching them for most of the day, shuttling them around to various activities, hosting "play dates" (a word that probably did not even exist in 1957), making sure everything they eat is organic and homemade, etc. etc. [/quote] Back in the day when everyone had a SAHM and everyone's dad worked 30/40 years for the same company and they lived in the same house with the same neighbors....and you really could shoo your kids out the door in the morning and tell them to be back before dark because you knew every person on your street and everyone knew you, anything that a kid did would get back to their parents.....yeah, that was a different reality. Times have changed.[/quote]
