Makes you wonder how they did it for the thousands of years before they had night lights and stored food.
There would have been 40 of us in a small tribe. Childcare would not have devolved to a single person/s but been a communal enterprise much more than is possible in modern life. Everything important would have been within walking distance. Younger children (someone's) would have existed to play with the very young ones and notify an adult if attention was needed.
The modern system is broken, plus has too many fantasy expectations tagged on top of that. Even worse, these are fantasy expectations that are almost possible, but really require being 3 people. Simply tasking 3 people to be you doesn't work, as that doesn't provide full mental integration.
