Are you a parent?
I really don't think humans evolved to have a nuclear family with no external support from grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbours, etc. We also have a scenario where children have been robbed of their independence (suburban design patterns, dangerous drivers, fearmongering on the news about child molesters, etc.) - so you can't just shove your 5 year old out the front door at 9 AM and tell them to come back for lunch.
I would _much_ rather watch my kids and my nieces and nephews for half a day, then trade, than watch my kids all day long. It's utterly grueling.
