if people were free to just be loving parents and didnโt have to grind their asses off to get by while raising children, maybe weโd have a much more sociable and socialized population overall ๐คท oh well, get back to your wagecages fuckers, only thing that matters is oligarchs have expendable masses to hurl at their personally selected problems

weโve lived thru a few decades now of absentee parenting and itโs given us a lot of horrific school and gang violence: great job capitalism

Honestly, I don't think it'd be THAT much better (even though it would be better for some people who take parenting seriously and care about their kids). Because parents are people too and they have their own lives and a lot of them would spend their newly acquired free time on themselves, instead of their kids. Also not all people are good at parenting, sometimes it would be genuinely worse if the children would spend more time with them. Besides, it would take a very long time to see any apparent change in our society as a whole. Plus maybe this isn't the problem. Look at how it's been in the past - people were a lot more socialized and sociable compared to what we have now. I think it's a huge bundle of things causing this big society degradation we have going on now right now. Life is speeding up, information is becoming less valuable, people tend to spend most of their free time on the internet instead of socializing or having time with their family. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

In Quebec 5 weeks of parental leave is set aside for the person who didnโt give birth to the kid. Anecdotally I find Quebec dads to be way more involved in parenting than non-Quebec counterparts. 18 weeks for mom 5 weeks for dad 32 weeks to split however you like. Itโs dope AF.

So much is broken with how we raise kids, scramble for houses we canโt afford and then push our kids to do the same. The only hope of escaping these cycles is to actively exit them which takes massive resources, a good plan and lots of luck.

Can we start with paid leave when they give birth at least?
