It means knowing who they hang out with, what their interests are ,and beign a real part of their lives in both the authoritative ways and in actually taking the time and effort to learn their interests.
It's the lazy parents that want the government to swoop in and take all that responsibility away from them.

Do you think a good parent is one who is on 100% high alert with their kids, monitoring everything they do until they're 21?
I mean, can't go to public school, cause you can't watch them. Can't let them go to a friend's place, not without a full weekly inspection of everything inside the friend's house, including an interview with the parents on a regular basis. All while not driving your kid insane.
Although, I don't think the government needs to do ALL the parenting for them. (Definitely need to help out in school, obviously) But to think you can be the all knowing, all powerful parent over your child is a little bit ridiculous.
