Just passed an elementary school that is having their pick up for end of day. In the line is a bunch of daycare busses to transport these poor kids to their next jail cell.
We need to judge harder parents who outsource their parenting and raising of children.
It’s a blessing and an honor not a burden.
Both my kids go to after school care because both my wife and I work.
Blame the system that makes us do this to feed our kids and put a roof over our heads, not parents.
Blame the system? The system is recreating itself through passivity.
The system is you not standing up for your family. Like millions of others not doing the right thing, because it would mean short term pain.
I know this may sound harsh, but the truth when knocking on ones door is rarely soft and cozy.
Tell us when you are ready to face your inner demons instead of blaming some mysterious external forces.
Yea, I definitely think that’s part of the structure that we need to push back against. That said, you are not my target, but rather the parents that avoid parenting and also celebrate their own selfishness as if the kids don’t need them and their decision will not have an affect on their life.
Keep on keeping on my man.
children have been taught collectively in groups for at least 5000 years
yes 🤝🙏
Got kids? Got a job? It’s tough to juggle both these days. We should praise those who can do it but don’t judge…you don’t know their struggle.
Made the decision from the get go to raise our kids on a single income. I don't make huge money, and so there are a lot of sacrifices.
We buy food on sale and use food banks sometimes. We never buy clothes or shoes from a store - always from a thrift store when there is a sale.
We don't take holidays or eat out, ever. We don't buy alcohol or go to movies. We drive our vehicles into the ground.
I totally get why different people make different choices.
Huge respect. Ultimately when you see your kids as people, it’s hard to throw them in a box for 9 hours a day.
