Yeah, life was not that easy for these people in some sense. (I'd argue it was easier in others - no debt, no stress, no health problems stemming from sedentary lifestyles.) A 20 year old woman was much more capable of hunting than a 50 year old. Therefore, the 50 year olds were probably left back at camp with the children while the younger women and men went hunting.
There is plenty anthropological research on the social structures of these hunter-gatherer humans and children were usually collectively raised by the whole group rather than in their biological families.
