And parents that think it's someone else's job to raise their kids.

- vkou 5y agoIt's always been someone else's job, it's just that 'someone else' used to be called 'grandma'. In the nuclear family of 2022, grandma no longer lives with you - or within half a mile of you - so she's no longer an option. We've built our society such that it's impossible to go anywhere without a car, and then we wonder why children don't get enough socialization, or why the only caretakers they have access to are their direct parents, and their teachers.
