    We’ll sit you down in front of a tablet as soon as you can sit up unassisted, so corporate America can raise you. Good luck, kid, you’re going to need it, because we’re doing the same thing. We’re staring at our phones and mindlessly eating ridiculously-overpriced garbage “food” we ordered online every minute we can.

    You can’t avoid being fucked up in some way as a kid or fucking up your kid in some way as a parent. We’re all imperfect people in an imperfect world, so something and someone are bound to get fucked up.

      Yes but there are some very simple ways to not fuck up your kids, like don’t do physical abuse! Honestly they don’t tell you about that simple hack to not fuck up your kids.

      There are definitely degrees of fucked up, from a light sprinkling all the way to non-functioning. And it’s not always the parents, external forces play a large role. Only the most authoritarian parenting styles get full credit.

    Ah, when people who shouldn’t have had kids had kids that should really not have had kids but did. How anyone in this current world, that is not drowning in time and cash, can have kids out of free will, is surely beyond me.
