Fine, but this is not true of ANY child below the age of 6. Children gain limited reasoning ability at the age of about 6. Before this, you can't expect them to understand why a parent isn't there - they just aren't and the relationship the child has with the parent later on in life will be impacted by the absence.

What you wrote completely insulted the way I was raised, which would mean more than zero if you any clue about how me and my childhood aside from the shreds of facts I've given you.
Sure, you are free to waive your ignorance about like banner. But I can't for the life of my imagine why you would want to do this, especially when it involves lives you know nothing about.

I don't know your situation. I won't pretend to know your situation. But, let me be clear here, even if I did it probably wouldn't change my opinion that parents who hire people to take care of their children, while they go run the country, are bad parents. This is true to a lesser degree of CEOs, surgeons, and people in the military. Your responsibility, as a parent, is to the life you created, in my opinion (as a parent of a child.) My opinion - like it, try to impact it, or pound sand.
As for not knowing anything about it? I see it. I see it ALL the time. I spend time at my kid's daycare, just looking at the children. I see the kids who are hit. I see the kids who are starved for affection. I see the ones who are happy, and, shock and surprise, mine is one of the happy ones.
I'm proud I made it through that without in caps or cursing because I know what I'm talking about, I know good parenting, I know bad parenting, and I absolutely have the right to voice my opinion on the differences and the kind of children they are likely to produce.
