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.
-
I didn't know people were still talking about quality time in [current year]. QUANTITY time is important. Being together so much that you don't feel a need to exploit the time. Just being in the same room is meaningful.
-
I think it's more important to have a time of day when you actually pay attention to each other and listen to each other, or do different fun things *together*.
