Hi Nikki,
Are these Mom's partaking in the 40 day lying in practice before sending their child off? I lived in China for two years and it is common practice for grandparents to raise young ones while the parents work if they can't afford an animal (live in caretaker). It's also very common for parents to work very far from their children, only coming home for new years. Do you think this is what is happening?
