>Work demands are higher than ever
I suspect you meant this within the context of your own life, but historically that's almost certainly untrue. 50 years ago you likely would've had a job doing much more grueling work in less comfortable conditions. Conversely, your ex-wife would not have had an income producing job at all and after the age of 4-5 would've sent the kid outside for significant portions of the day.
- rconti 9y agoMore grueling work, but likely left AT work. No bringing work home with you. Likely less job stress at home as well, though it might be replace by financial stress.
- fleitz 9y ago'grueling' is key. Since I don't do any 'real' work I need to go to the gym pretty regularly to keep my mind / body sane.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoDo you have any insight on the "after age 4-5"? My youngest is nearly 2 and can hold his own on a parking field, at a playpark, in a woodland, digging in the garden, etc.. Seems early 20th Century kids would be out there at an earlier age, certainly working class kids.
