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?

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
Yup
I would blame stranger danger for a lot of this.
nah

we actually had an older lady in our neighborhood who volunteered to take care of peoples kids and everyone liked her
Wow I'm convinced.
@Deleted User I grew up in a small town. It still has changed. Not nearly as bad as a city, but still.
It. Contributes
People are also just more insular generally
Tech has made the world closer but the local more distant
But it's mainly cost of living versus wages
Social media replaced actual social interaction
And tech
i also grew in a small town, it became a 4 million city
Ruben takes August off
