And that's only getting worse as governments try to incentivize both parents to work
I was raised by the method of "learning it the hard way"
Yeah, taking kids places certainly is an issue. It's interesting how my mother wouldn't let me leave the block when I was high school yet she would talk about her brothers bicycling to a store literally miles away. She sort of set herself up when I was younger to be dependant on her and my father.
So far as downtime; phone use isn't an issue but the length and quality of the downtime relative to the stress of uptime is. For some phones might be adequate but others may need more time for them to find the quality required.
to be fair, there is more legal consequences for letting a kid do that these days
One of the funniest thins when i was younger:
That's a problem as well yeah
My mother at one point thought i had a drug problem and feared i was getting off the rails.
"Kid is out in the front yard without you standing between them and every passing leaf? NEGLIGENCE LOL"
technology moves faster than we humans can adjust to it
like it can be considered child abuse of neglect to simply let them walk home from middle school, or bike around the neighborhood
I'm thinking the solution might be to move away from the city
@Kyubae It's entirely possible new studies came out from when I read on it but as of about 10 years ago, that's what I was seeing in them, that financial incentives didn't have a real impact. It's also entirely possible societal views and requirements to have kids has changed since then. As I said before, I sort of left everything some time ago.
Which is a bit awkward since I work in IT
luckily i had a nice chunk of woods behind my house. no a-holes to call the cops. or if they did, they had no clue who's house i came from, and where i went.
Or will do at least
i hate cities
I used to hang out in the forest too
not enough green, too many people.
Canadian cities are more green
Still too many people
oh not for the better at all. in fact, its almost debatable that leaving a kid in a bad family is better than the foster system
@MetGreDKo in any case, it is my own opinion that people should be disincentivized to procreate wildly
hey, farms need their child labor
the damage they do to their own lives is perhaps enough
@Grenade123 So far as a parent home 24/7. There certainly is truth that for a time it did but it's also true that the parent at home had other duties to attend to and may have extended independence to their children far beyond what we see today.
if we become a space faring species we should all convert to the norse religion and raid alien planets process the inhabitants into food and milk the planet dry of resources before moving onto the next one
Someone's been playing Stellaris
gee i wonder how you figured that out xD
yet we send them to daycare for most of the day
oh sorry, i mean indoctrination center
i mean school
>milk
Nazi detected
Well as much as i want to disagree with that
you mean part-time prison
you mean those places with broken education systems?
leaving all those tasks to still be done, but from having all day to do them, you have like 4 hours.
Its only recently that my government decided to adopt genderbender bullshit in classes for fucking 5 year olds.
they have classes for that?
also, we might want to examine the number of kids per household now verse previously.
the stuff thats written on those pages, its almost unbelievable that they even dare to publish it to the public since it flies into the face of every person who ever dated anyone.
