Time with children.

So according to a new study (registration required), modern mothers "on average" spend more time with their children now than they did in the 60s.   

Anne Manne exposes the shady statistics, inspired by the (completely nonsensical --- think about it) statement that mothers back then spent less than ELEVEN hours per week with children. 

How can that be?

Short answer:  the researchers only counted time spent doing NOTHING ELSE at the same time.  Folding laundry while helping your son with his homework?  Doesn't count as "time with children."

What SLACKERS those multitasking 60's moms were.

I was wondering how they came to that obviously wrong conclusion.
