Hi Nigel,
That is a broad brush that you are using.
Both of my children are married & both spouses have had full-time jobs thru-out the marriages. They each have one child. Both of my grandchildren are exceptional; I may be biased but here are the facts:
- my 19 yr old grandson has made the Dean's List both semesters for his first yr of college.
- my 10 yr old granddaughter was just in a reading & comprehension test with other 4th graders, 5th graders & 6th graders; she came in 2nd of all of them.
Both, to me, seem to be very well adjusted & on track to be successful in life. Time will tell.
