Isn’t that sort of avoidable by simply communicating with your children, listening to them, what they have to say and feel?

I mean, I know that raising kids is hard, but not fucking up badly isn’t that hard either, me thinks…

Feed your kids, educate your kids, don’t hit your kid, don’t neglect your kids, talk with and listen to your kids…

I mean, I’m sure I’m missing half of it and I’m sure there are some really complicated issues to deal with, but if you cover the basics of keeping your kids alive, water, food, shelter, and you (again) communicate… It can’t be THAT hard not to fuck up badly. Can it?

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.

i really enjoy turning random characters into stickers

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.

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.
