So close. What traps us in the system is locked real estate. We are not owners of the land anymore, means we cant grow our own crops, build our own houses from our own resources. This means we are locked in a market that can abuse us.
Getting and raising children always was a village effort. But the village long gone and replaced by this corrupt system where we prefer to diabolize children over rioting.
Ain't nobody diabolizing children. We're railing against the system that demands everyone make more wage slaves to feed it.
Counter offer, multigenerational homes. Let the kids stay at home for their entire lives if they want to. They can start paying a bit towards the bills once they are adults.
Oh yeah and a house with more than 2 adults working, especially once the mortgage is paid off? You could work 1 day a week each and have plenty of money.
I suppose as your kids get partners if half move out and half move in its sustainable there too. Keep at it and build up some intergenerational wealth?
Why can't people see that this community and every post in it is a reaction to a lifetime of being pressured into having kids? I have seen zero posts here and very few comments here which cannot be easily explained by that dynamic.
You don't have to choose to see any sentiment less than neutral when it comes to kids as hatred toward kids. In fact out of every time a child themselves bothered me, I blamed the parents 99% of the time for standing there and watching their child behave shittily
