[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trend towards intensive parenting is only going to intensify in the decades to come, which means we'll increasingly leave socialization up to the sole burden of the parents, who will have to transform themselves into children so their kids can play with a facsimile of what a child would do, because all the neighborhood kids are off playing travel soccer or at Kumon? I can't be the only one who finds that depressing. This isn't an individual issue, so I'm not talking about individual posters. It's a societal shift that is going to reshape life as we know it. I mean, there's lots of other stuff happening too, this is just another aspect of it. In another few decades, there will be so few children that there will be no alternative. [/quote] Immediate PP here. This stuff was going on in Chevy Chase back in the early 2000s, too. It’s a class thing, I think. [/quote]
