My wife stays home and watch out daughters

After I saw what daycare was like

But we have that luxury most people dont

my sister pulled her kid out of daycare too

100 yeas ago it took a village to raise a child

being a mother and staying at home is a luxury

No we don't have that option

Yeah luckily we can afford it pretty easily but I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have the job I do

funny how priorities have changed to acomodate everything but us

is like whats this economy?

for who are we really working you know

The family unit. Yes

Thoae that make the choices for. Families can't relate with barely making it

It still takes a village to raise a child. But forgot what made a village special.

Basically

Now a village is a bunch of strangers you don't know nor trust.

Yes

Rather than friends and neighbors

you mean the city

No one has time anymore

a small town still is like that in most cases

The government is your village, comrade

Yes cities but the vast majority live in cities

yep

I remember as a kid, we used to throw block parties. I new my neighbors. Now? This is rare

We will take your children if you teach them wrongthink. Do not worry

Yup

I would blame stranger danger for a lot of this.
