Australia shares with America certain maladies of the modern age, such as work-stressed parents stressing their kids when they come home at night. The Sydney Morning Herald reports.

Grumpy, bad-tempered, stressed-out parents are the bane of children's lives. As new Australian research emphatically shows, we have been asking the wrong questions all these years, at least of mothers.

"To work or not to work is not the question," says Barbara Pocock, the chief author of a study on Australian children's views on work and family life. "The important question is not whether parents go to work but the state in which they come home."
