[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people envision parenting as giving birth and paying the bills. The actual direct work of raising a child simply isn't feasable if you're not much there, hence the [b]recent phenomon of "absentee parenting"[/b]. Cute, huh? Kind of like absentee management; we all know how that goes. GL.[/quote] It's not recent though, is it? Upper class and aristocracy women always hired nannies for their children and saw their kids probably all of few hours a day. Do you think Queen Elizabeth did much by way of childcare? Diana had fulltime nannies for her children yet no one doubted her as a mother. Mothers aren't meant to be exclusive providers of care to their children; you need a network to raise a sane child and stay sane. [/quote] The difference is hiring support help vs primary care. There's always one person doing "the most" waking hours. No? That person, whoever it is, is the "primary caregiver" and knows the child best.[/quote]
