I found this article very interesting, particularly because it seemed to be based on research from moms in past decades. I totally agree that although a prior generation of moms may have been 'stay at home', their parenting styles were very different and a bulk of them perhaps did not spend quality time at all with their children. I have spoken with many of my peers who had mothers who were at home but didn't have any interest in their children at all. So I used to think the notion of 'quality time' was something that just made working moms feel less guilty but the longer I'm a parent and the more I see the difference in many of today's parents and those of prior generations, I do think a sort of evolution has occured in parenting that is more supportive of children, even if it's for a more limited number of hours.
