[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think that mentality was more prevalent in the past than it is now.

I think parents are more involved now, even if they do have a nanny.[/quote]

I agree.

It used to be standard for parents to spend virtually no time playing with their kids. Standard. Not the realm of the rich and disinterested, but common across all socioeconomic lines. Today, parents know how important it is for their kids to build relationships with them through play time, and even busy working parents make an effort to get that bonding time in before bed or on weekends.

While some don't, like the ones mentioned upthread, I don't believe this is typical anymore, nor nearly as common as it was even 30 years ago.[/quote]

agree.  historically, we're at an all time high of time spent "parenting" even comparing working moms now to SAHMs 60 years ago.
and studies have shown additional time spent with children does not better their outcomes, sometimes the opposite.
