It’s almost like we need parents to raise their own young children or something… not a solution at all…being around our own young rather than boosting our “career”(ego,wallet), what a radical idea

My wife’s employer gave her three paid days of family leave after giving birth. Most employers aren’t much better and most people can’t afford to take extended periods of unpaid leave to raise their child. You are severely out of touch.

Ah man that sucks and is so insulting. That's like Clark Griswold getting the jelly of the month club as a Christmas bonus.

I’m not. This is a societal issue. Why should everyone not have the ability to raise their own children? The family lost power decades ago and there is a perpetuated class issue through the generations. I have empathy for your family. I’m not your enemy

I don't disagree with you, but the economy is not what it was, pretty sure most people can barely survive with no kids. Family raising their own children is a big deal and we should focus more as a nation to help raise the next generation.

I agree. People are barely surviving and definitely not thriving. Economic conditions are deplorable. And deaths of despair are not talked about enough as well. This is a societal sickness we allow to go on. The anxiety people, especially families, live with over financial stress is outrageous. The next gen needs parents who aren’t hell bent on their social media persona and are present enough to demand family values return to our households.

Values shift and change, but our education system would be boosted by parents staying at home occasionally. I'm not saying anyone could afford to, but it would be good for us as people.
