[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Modern American parenting is uniquely soul sucking in human history:

1) Massive social inequality incentivized “investing” in your kid and cultivating them into bourgeoisie middle class professionals. Well guess what? Not only are there not enough spots for everyone to do this successfully, but some kids won’t ever fit that mold. Therefore, we have huge increases in diagnosed special needs.

2) Care work is devalued so usually both parents have to work and then do the care job after the paid one.

3) lack of extended family and local connections as everyone is busy working

Stop blaming yourself. Your children are people for whom you have love and care. You are not going to be able to control everything about how they turn out.

I was just thinking how as women we really are screwed once we have kids because everything falls on us. Sure you can say you split 50/50 with your DH but the freaking load of it all is enormous. It's unfair! Then they say get a job! You get one and realize holy shit, not only do I now have to maintain the work of a career but everything else related to my child/children. IT IS INSANE![/quote]
