[quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that a lot of young, middle class, parents today tend to spend an enormous amount time doing "activities" with their kids. They're constantly playing with them and hovering around them. I think this results in children who can't be alone and constantly require interaction from adults. The more you hover, the less they can be alone. Middle/Upper-class mothers have become very perfectionist and think that they are "bad" parents if they are not constantly playing with their kids. It's not a parent's job to constantly enthrall their children with activities. It's an unrealistic ideal, and it's no surprise that SAHMs get tired and husbands are confused why she can't get things done at home, when he works 60+ hours per week. It shouldn't be that difficult for a SAHM to take care of one or two children and get things done around the house. Mothers have been doing this, with less, for centuries.[/quote]
