Since I've read Hold onto your kids, even before, I've become very agitated against schooling system. And I'm a teacher, ha. But nowadays it's so hard to raise them and stay alive, the family is only parents, often only a mother, and they're being beaten and criticized on daily basis. The model of family is fucked up, it was never a job for only two people. "Enjoy yourself, you've got time before you have kids" is a fucking lie that ruins decades of life.

But you go either with the system or you go absolutely punk, putting your hand into the fire. We don't have parents to help us, if they're 60+ for their first grandchildren. Our kids will not raise ok if they get ipad or phone to shut up when mommy wants to stay sane, because she's alone.

Community, tribes, big and young family. This died out concept hurts us most of them all.

While I agree in principle, you know what is also true? Kids will be just fine. Even with iPads. Kids are incredibly resilient and the only thing you need to do is to be comfortable with yourself, because - surprise - they will turn out to be you.

And yes, my only regret is that I didn’t have kids as soon as I could. 40s would be immense fun with adult children.
