[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody has mentioned the amazing brain research that shows 80% of a child’s brain is wired by age 3 and 90% by age 5. It suddenly seems very important to invest in “quality time” at an age when, in previous generations, kids were still assumed to be blobs. [/quote]

This is a really good point. It’s the main reason I outsource a lot and spend most of the time I’m at home engaged with my DD instead of cooking/cleaning. Once she hits elementary school, I’ll start to pick up more housework again.[/quote]

Good luck with that. Once your child sees you as their personal entertainer, it’s hard to go back. [/quote]

PP here and I work (my post may have been confusingly written). So when I’m at home, of course I want to be DD’s personal entertainer and vice versa. I’d rather spend an hour after dinner playing hide and seek, Legos, and reading a book rather than doing the dishes. I enjoy spending quality time with her and having face-to-face conversations.[/quote]
