Master Chef
I have three kids. The oldest two are from my first partner. We both worked while they grew up. They turned out fine. Very social, independent, never any problem with the authority, always worked jobs since high school. We have a great relationship and see each other often.
My third child is now 15. I had her with my second partner who, due to chronic spine illness, was always home. I, myself, worked in my restaurant which was attatched to our house, so, in essence, we were both home for a large part of her life. Over 10 years. She is different than her older brother and sister. But just as mature well adjusted. We homeschooled her for three years. I think she is more mature than most 15 year olds, having spent most of her life with two adults. But, is starting to show some indifference about things. It may be due to our separation or her mother's depression. But these are just other factors many people face in life.
Both my parents worked and all four of us siblings turned out pretty good. Three of us graduated University, and one graduated college and obtained a trade liscense. All home owners, no jail, etc...
I don't think one way is better than the other. Just different.
