[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every parent "works", well ok, most. Some work with their kids, actually raising them. Other parents work in an office, while someone else is paid to become the caretaker (usually primary  caretaker, because it's hard to pull off PT office jobs). No one human does it all.

I have no purpose to offend, nor do I aspire to political correctness. I simply desire engagement in an open and honest discussion with sincere and thoughtful adults.

Are you game?

Absentee means absent from the children while at the office. It's a straight forward fact for many parents. It either is, or isn't, depending on factual circumstances. The fact that indeed many of them love their children dearly, doesn't change the actual situation at hand.[/quote]

I see absentee as more largely absent from a big part of the child's lives in terms of physically being there but also emotionally being there. A parent who works out of the house 40 hours a week is not an absentee parent (not unless their social lives and other parts of their lives keep them away from their children significantly more than the 40 hours). They are still there plenty of the time and are still playing a large role in raising their child. [/quote]
