This is probably not a politically correct thing to say these days but it bothers me that we see no problem in outsourcing the upbringing of our children to the lowest bidder.
If we spent half as much effort on our kids directly as we do on our personal passions (be they work, our hobbies etc) the world would be a better place.
Rest assured I'm not singling out or criticizing any particular person or their personal family choices, just observing trends that seem on the surface to have a net negative impact, long term.
- petercooper 16y agoI agree with you, but you can get grief both ways. If you decide to go with having just one working parent (as my wife and I have - I'm the sole "breadwinner"), the working parent's motivations and intentions still seem to be questioned. It's bizarre that anyone should have the gall to comment on how many hours I spend with my child (or not) when I'm supporting the entire family and allowing her the benefit of a full-time mom, yet it happens.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoI find it galling that people consider children to be something to be "outsourced".
