    Oh yeah? You sure as hell can. And of course we all did. For a kid, having a stay-at-home mom is a great way to grow up. Especially when the other kids do too, so that the neighborhood is a living community instead of a dead space that only comes to semi-life at 6:00pm.

        Seeing how my kids and others their age grew up with working mothers breaks my heart. Compared to now, our childhood with stay-at-home moms really was heaven.

        In what way? I think some balance is needed. Its not good for kids to never see their mother (or their father) because they work such long hours but its not good for them to be her sole focus either. I'm not a fan of helicopter parenting.

        It was the opposite of helicopter parenting. Helicopter parenting came along years AFTER women had started working outside the home. We used to roam the neighborhood unsupervised, sometimes doing what we called "exploring."

        OK. Did you mother need to be at home whilst you did that? Couldn't she go to work or have some kind of life of her own in this time?

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        Yes, mothers needed to be at home to feed us and (some feminists might hate this) to give us attention. We weren't wandering around ALL the time. Also, because we weren't helicoptered, sometimes we needed emergence adult assistance, like when my brother fell down the storm drain

        Yes, there needs to be an adult around to provide basic needs and for emergencies. It doesn't need to be your mother just hanging around for the few minutes you run in, bolt down food and run out again!

        And kids can't expect attention at all times. As long as they have some every day, they're good. My daughter knows we have our time in the evening. If she wants to talk to me whilst I'm working, she'll have to wait unless its urgent.

        Kids are quite capable of understanding that adults have other things to do as well. It's not quantity, but quality time that matters. Kids who are free to roam should also be given knowledge about how to look after themselves. Basic stuff.
