Or maybe someone can start a thread in OTBT (or PI) on this topic instead so we can get back to Russian skating news?
P.S. I know it's no use but I just felt like posting this anyway.
Not sure what a 'no parent' household means - a household in which parents give other adults the primary responsibility of raising their children? As opposed to two parent households where one parent, usually the woman, is usually home.
There is plenty of good to come when a child is raised largely in a community setting. For example, I've heard the term 'other mothers' used to refer to child-rearing among Blacks in the US. As so many poor Black women have to work, other community members who are retired or not working contribute to raising children.
OTOH, plenty of kids who grew up in two parent households have had mental health problems and used alcohol and drugs. Some housewives were really unhappy in the Post WWII era - author Betty Friedan said they had 'the problem with no name', and valium as liberally prescribed to them at the time. My own mom was one such - she had attended university for several years and worked for censorship in the war. She wasn't thrilled to be a housewife in a small town for many years to come after the war. She did participate in my dad's business, which she bought with her savings from working in censorship, but while she was an equal partner on paper, that was not the case in practice.
Please clarify your point and provide some evidence for it.
Thank you for your response. I really appreciated the tone. No parent household (made that term up) is one where the parents are gone all day, and the kids spend their time with the babysitter or at daycare.
I am well aware that having a parent at home is not possible or not healthy. I had two alcoholic parents. My mom did not work........no she spent her time drinking, napping, waking up, and then beating the nearest kid (as I am the oldest, it was usually me) So we can skip outliers.
CNN Study
Since 2009, at least 177 of America’s schools experienced a shooting. These tragedies are as diverse as our nation, but the depth of trauma is hard to convey. There is no standard definition for what qualifies as a school shooting in the US. Nor is there a universally accepted database. So CNN built our own. We examined 10 years of
shootings on K-12 campuses and found two sobering truths: School shootings are increasing, and no type of community is spared.
WOW Parenting
Disadvantages/cons of both parents working on the child:
- To begin with, in a family where both parents are working and not able to spend quality time, their children are often lacking necessary support and supervision.
- Over time, it will make them demoralized, and have serious effects on their academic performance.
- Without parent’s supervision, children will also be very likely to take on bad habits due to peer pressure such as addiction to games like PUBG, smoking, or even taking drugs.
- There is an alarming issue that less and less close conversation has been made between children and the other family members, many children feel lonely even at their own home.
From Harvard Business Review - how our careers affect our children.
All these aspects of parents’ careers, we found, correlate with the degree to which children display behavior problems, which are key indicators of their mental health. We measured them with
the Child Behavior Checklist, a standard in the child development research literature that has not been used in other research in organizational psychology.
And lastly, if you could choose what kind of family you were going to be born in, wouldn't you chose a home with a parent at home.....at least until you start school.
Three is plenty of time for building careers when the kids start school.
And, as an aside, I raised 5 kids. I discovered that I learned more about their lives, school, problems when sitting by myself at the kitchen table or in the car.
They will communicate if someone is there.
Oh and don't trust anyone with a 1 in front of their age.
And most likely the answer to all of societies is more Figure Skating
And the cure for all that ails us MORE FIGURES SKATING! on TV at times that are not insane.
