Quote by Candice Bergen

Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't think anything of going off for a few weeks and leaving their kids.

Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents

It implies that parents had more freedom to prioritize their own needs or desires over constant parental presence and involvement, contrasting with contemporary expectations, where parents tend to be more involved in their children's lives.
