[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually the parents spend more time on their careers than with the children. [/quote]

Successful parenting is a job in itself, if both parents have demanding careers it’s very hard to parent well. [/quote]

Agree. Parents need to spend a lot of time with kids for them to teach their full potential academically, mental health wise and Socially. Intelligence is largely inherited but there could be LDs. The engaged parents is around enough to know their child well and spot early signs of mental health issues or other potential things that can spiral downward.

Engaged parent is NOT the same as permissive parenting- way too much of the latter these days and way too many ways too waste time and screw up, especially if family has money and kids don’t have to make sacrifices and do lots of chores.

Parenting is a full time job and almost impossible to do well if you’re not physically present a good amount of time. It would be impossible to be at the top of one’s field and also be an engaged parent. But I’m glad we have people who pursue excellence in their career. I chose to limit my professional career in order to parent. Still work though. [/quote]
