These are the same people that will take a quote like this and blow it out of proportion...
Then tell you them calling Trump, "Hitler", is perfectly fine... because, yea... it's just "hyperbole"...
The "Left" are fucking nuts. Sooner everyone realizes it, better off we are. The "rules" only apply depending on their (the "Lefts") position on it. Principles and standards no longer apply.
You’re overthinking it.Quote:

Stop pawning your kids off on daycare workers.
"Waah waah but I want dual income life!"
Yeah well you can't have both, so figure out which is more important and pick one. Which is more important? Your kids being raised by their actual parents instead of a bunch of loser strangers who don't actually give a fuck about them? Or dual income so you can try to impress your friends with a bigger house or a boat or some shit and post on the internet about being an international man of mystery?
Life is about choices, priorities, and sacrifices. And tacos. And boobs. And you're willing to sacrifice your kids formative years (or maybe you have teenagers that you send to daycare too, in which case just stop unless you want them to turn out like ClydeR) by letting strangers raise them instead of being raised by their own parents, in favor of either you or your wife bringing home that second paycheck.
Also...
You're literally passing your parental responsibilities onto daycare workers. The fact that you're paying them for it doesn't change any of that.Quote:
I’m not Gen Z, where I pass my responsibilities onto others.
Yeah, seriously, what's wrong with you?Quote:

Odd thought... something I hadn't thought about in over 40 years...
Do local YMCA's no longer do weekend overnights for kids? I remember going to those - you'd get dropped off around 4-5 on a Friday, and get picked up 1-2 on a Saturday. Something like 150-200 kids, sleeping bags on the gym floor, stacks of pizza, bring whatever sports equipment you want... I just recall the staff making sure no one died for the most part... The rest of the time it was just kids all having a blast.
I take it not done anymore? To much liability these days?
Man, recalling that brought back some good memories.
Can any of the dumb fuck conservatives still worshipping Trump explain how his mega-tariffs will fix child care, because Trump can't.

We probably shouldn't use Russia as the gold standard of family care.Quote:
Most Russians can’t afford their own homes, and property is passed down, they live together because they have no choice. The pension system in Russia is roughly $200 a month. It’s almost impossible for a Russian from any city to move to Moscow or SPB, where you can actually have a better future.
