[quote=Anonymous]I’m a parent who spends plenty of time with my kids but prioritizes my own social life, marriage as well. When I hang out with other parents and their kids I often feel as though the parents work for the kids. Even with older kids. I don’t think my grandmother worked for my mom. It’s like the parents are there to serve the kids and entertain them. The parents have lost so much of their identify and everything is built and designed around having kids. I don’t think this is healthy for children. Recently I was at the playground and there was this mom playing games with the kids. The playing was on another level. It was almost as if she was an employee who had been sent there as an entertainer. Everyone seemed to think it was wonderful and I was probably one of the few who thought, “this is weird.” [/quote]
