Your post points out the similarities to freud. I agree it's similar. I also think they are both wrong. If this were true would you expect a child with a stay-at-home mom to have more anxiety/repression than kids with two working parents. Ten minutes Google search shows studies say the opposite or at worst that there is no effect.

Maybe my google skill is bad, but i found exactly that. It's either no effect, or it has beneficial effect. https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/kids-of-working-moms-grow-into-ha...

What papers did you have in mind?

Also, i think the way this relates back to freud is in the concept of the superego. Which indeed causes anxiety. And it is learned from the parents ego.
