...I can only guess that there is a huge disparity of TBD fathers' ages here.....today's environment of child rearing is far more difficult and dangerous versus when I was a kid back "in the 1500's"......"mom I'm going out to play (9AM)....to which she said, "be home for dinner" without a worry in the world......today it is 24/7/365 monitoring of kids....abductors, molesters, murderers, armed sentrys at schools, even holier than thou once respected priests put children at risks in ways that were unheard of when I was growing up...how sad we have fallen...just a thought....
