Until recently, society seemed convinced that no incompatibility exists between mom's career and childrearing. But we are learning this is the fantasy of a generation that wants to have its cake and eat it too. But quality time is paltry time. Besides, a child's physical, intellectual and emotional time frame cannot be correlated to a mother's work agenda. Conscience training of children is the most urgent task of this society.
Constant supervision is demanded.
Observing and correcting behavior is required. Character modeling by parents is mandatory. The third alibi is that mothering can be delegated to dad. But this current pop dogma of gender-neutral parenting is a fiasco. Mothering and fathering are not interchangeable parts.
