cmii Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Hello. Hope this finds you all well. I have a proposition and was wondering if anyone else would be willing to share, expand, etc., upon it. If both parents work full time than the child resents that which is attributed with working full time. I understand the convoluted and abstract nature of the proposition. I thought this to be the clearest way to start a conversation. For me, I associate my reservations with social norms regarding mindless work in order to participate in mindless activities as a net negative, however I am unsure how much of my childhood reservations towards my parents spending more of there time working than with the children plays a role in preserving the situation, social norms, in this light. As if it's necessary to how I justify my going about my day.
dsayers Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 If both parents work full time than the child resents that which is attributed with working full time. If I understand what you're saying, this is just a possibility, not a certainty. Another child of the same parents could work a lot following their example, another still might just work average despite that example. The only certainty in this quote is that parents that model dysfunction to their children will have dysfunctional children.
