Well, bonding with the kids hasn't ever been an issue. Having the moments needed can be trickier, though it's doable. Mostly, we just have to be willing to spend the time. That can be tough if both parents have to work.

YES! I think that's the critical issue.
And, also, it's one of the reasons the NWO oligarchy has seduced the nation into such slavish working for yet more toys and keeping up appearances to vainly try and match the advertisements.

Nevertheless, most parents do not use their time and energy wisely in such regards. They give in to short, curt, even angry, annoyed, frustrated, insensitive replies to their children. Such communications leave the children feeling like trash, rejected, worthless. That's tragic, even criminal.

Mainly the determination MUST be made to BE LOVING in all the ways one can remotely manage . . . moment after moment, hour after hour, day after day. Sure, one fails. One apologizes, makes it right and goes on. When the determination and commitment are made with sufficient follow through--
THEN--the child gets the message that they are worthwhile, loved . . . and they have the courage and hope to grow on.
THEN, the child becomes convinced that they
--ARE LOVEABLE
--ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE LOVE THEY NEED
AND
THAT OTHERS
--CAN/WILL LOVE, HELP THEM WHEN NEEDED.
--WILL BE AVAILABLE TO LOVE AND HELP THEM.
THAT results in the courage to LIVE, GROW, BECOME all they can be.
Thx for your kind post.

THEN, consequently, children become more emotionally, constitutionally, courage-wise, creatively, boldly ABLE AND WILLING to face crises, complex traumas and even more able to face seemingly impossible situations.
And, such children are more able and willing to reach out to Almighty God in confident faith and trust that HE TOO, WILL be there for them as needed--particularly when HE ALONE can help them out of truly impossible situations and/or to BE WITH THEM demonstrably in the midst of the fiery furnace.

Excellent points.
Thanks for making them so clearly from your own experience and observations.

I quite agree that many times the mother's 2nd income is not sufficient for all that's lots with her out of the home. And, sometimes, she makes more than dad and it would make more sense for him to stay home if his ego could stand it and if his home skills were sufficiently up to par. LOL.

Certainly I think that young kids need mom at home. Failing that, they definitely need stable child care people who are responsible and loving with healthy affection--who are THERE FOR THEM day after day and don't change jobs etc.

I agree. Family members--who are healthy--giving care to young children is certainly far better, imho, than day care.
And, in terms of teens . . . far too many parents seem to fail to understand that the time to solve teen problems is ages 0-6.
LOL.
Thx for your kind comments.
