Never heard of 3 hours a day, have one child and live in Russia :) Depends on a doctor and mom and everything is subjective. Now I live in a city where it is quite hard to find a place to walk with a stroller, no parks or normal road. And even bigger cities are a challenge - been there, done that. We did spend much more time playing outside, that our children do, but now it is mainly due to the safety reasons. I wouldn't let my 5-year old play alone outside these days. Btw, not everyone here has the luxury of being a home-stay mom, too. Not everyone likes it (although if you have a nice and legal salary for the past two years of work, you will be paid quite nicely up till the child is 1,5 years old, it's the law of maternity leave), firstly, and secondly, the kids start kindergarten at the earliest age of 1,5, and you are lucky if your child actually get into the kindergarten at this age or even later. Some work from home and the employees usually are not happy with having a mom with a young child in their staff for many reasons - mainly, because of the sick-leaves, should the child be unwell.
