[quote=Anonymous]This has been a much slower creep than you guys are suggesting. My grandmother’s generation, she was working at 12 and married by 15. She is the youngest of 11 and some of her older siblings were sent away to be live in help to wealthier families in their early teens. She parented in a more doting way but my mother was still working 40 hours a week to help support herself and the family by 15. When I was a kid my mom also tried to be more doting but she didn’t help at all with school or invest in my extracurricular interests. Now that I am a mom I also try to be more doting and sign my DD up for lots of afterschool enrichment, play with her more than my mom did, etc. [/quote]
