[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, in addition to the accurate "they mostly worked," or "they played with their 7 brothers and sisters," they weren't used to parents entertaining them or being entertained by a screen, so... they came up with their own entertainment. This was their expectation, so they acted accordingly. It's not like people were (mostly) complaining of boredom all day every day before the invention of TV and computers. [/quote] Parents NEVER entertained their children. Parents read their own books. Once in a while a parent would play a board game but this would be rare. Parents were parents. Kids were kids.[/quote] Kids were expected to entertain themselves. Again, a kid would never tell a parent he/she was bored. That meant immediate chores.[/quote]
