You need a large reserve stock of mental and physical energy to meet our children's needs at any time.
It is doubtful if there are parents who can not satisfy all of their children's needs continuously.
Sometimes the child's needs overwhelm most of us for many reasons, accidental, medical, social, psychological, physical, or materialistic. The main reason for this is that no parents are by nature meant to ensure their child's needs without help, nature has designed people to live in herds and get help and support of a community.
It's no wonder we parents in today's society feel overwhelmed from time to time, some have even manage to be a mother, father and extended family alone, I'm talking about single mothers or fathers.
It's so incredibly important that we do not live together, so we keep at least together in discussion groups, over the phone and trying to build something that we humans have lost the way, our herd.
