[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think much of the problem for upper middle class parents is of our own making. The relentless competitiveness about parenting- everything is scheduled extra curriculars, tutoring, getting in to the best schools and colleges…when i was a kid we were expected to take a ball to the park and not come back before dark…[/quote]

True question here from an early 30s childfree woman here, I am a middle school teacher. Why do you think this culture around parenting changed? What caused it?[/quote]

Once again it isn’t the parents fault In entirety.

Society is such that ses backsliding has more dire consequences here than in Western Europe.

Going from umc to lmc in Netherlands is OK. Your life expectancy and QoL doesn’t change that much. You still get to have a safe walkable nabe, clean parks, etc.

Lmc people in a boring Milanese suburb eat WAY better than UMC Americans with 10x the income and Whole Foods.

Americans parents in 2021 are hyper involved because they sense if they cannot give their child a trust, the only way to stop generational backsliding is to make sure they get onto the umc success track.
