[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good number of parents don't see their kids from 7-7, its not full time parenting, no matter how you define it. [/quote] Full-time parenting as the standard is a myth. In the past, when people stayed in their home towns or lived in multi-generational homes with grandparents and extended family, different family members and neighbors were contributing to childcare. And let's be honest, past the toddler years kids were not hanging out with their parents they were out in the neighborhood with other kids running around until it was time to come home for dinner. And, with so many kids, another thing that was also happening was the adultification of the oldest daughter(s). My boomer mother, who was the oldest child was typically taking care of her four younger siblings and the house (laundry, cooking, cleaning) from a young age - and my grandmother/her mother didn't work.
