  I wonder what the correlation is with parents putting their kids into after schools clubs due to both parents working, meaning a higher possibility of nepotism?

    Like that American study showing girls who had a horse growing up were in better health later in life lol.

    I feel like both parents working is more common in working class families then rich ones. A rich family may have one of the parents working part time or not at all because they can afford it.

    Yeah a working class family may have one parent who is chronically unemployed but I feel that’s more the exception to the rule, as capitalism does a pretty good job of putting those people on the streets and having the state take away the kids.

      Yeah I figured the same after pondering a bit. I just wonder if there’s some other correlation other than ‘it makes you better at getting a good job’.

  Correlation is not causation.
