One of my strongest socioeconomic stances is that the nuclear family was a mistake.
- usrusr 5y agoBut the opposite all too often results in a situation where family trees become power structures and that's how you time-travel back into the middle ages.
- filleduchaos 5y agoI am honestly completely lost as to how the extended family and/or communal living is "time travel back into the middle ages".

- filleduchaos 5y agoI would have thought the connection between the sequestering of nuclear families in single family homes and the dwindling of communal childcare/rise of expensive commercial childcare options to be fairly obvious.
- noptd 5y agoWhat would your preferred alternative be?
- filleduchaos 5y agoExtended family living, as was the norm for the vast majority of human history up until the mid 20th (and is still a fairly equal alternative in many parts of the world).
