They probably expect the kids to be involved/help, but that depends a lot on the parents' jobs. Like I was of some help to my dad in elementary school (helped him with basic IT/networking/data stuff), but my mom worked with biohazards that had very good reason for not wanting children around so any time we had to go to mom's work we were locked in a break room for hours.

- mrguyorama 3y agoMy mom was a teacher and for some reason I ended up the entire school's IT dept as a preteen, despite the school's IT dept being acceptable, just not staffed 100% of the time. I did pretty well at running a photocopier and stuff, though when I was older I eventually realized that letting a ten year old run and DIAGNOSE AND FIX the photocopier was not something that should have happened. My mom was single and poor so I also got to spend from 3pm to 7pm most evenings sitting in her classroom, which for some years was an actual server closet, desperately trying to note die of boredom while my mother had meetings and graded papers. This was so useful, important, and necessary for my future /s
