Fuck's sake, from pain-free childbirth all the way to the govt watching your spawn for eight hours a day and youtube the other eight, what's so hard, exactly? The preponderance of easy meals, cheap clothes, and household appliances?

It's harder among the people NYT readers imagine themselves to be, because it's become a conspicuous-consumption status race.

Reminds me of that "why are we poors" family from last week, who are spending hundreds every week for their kids to take everything lessons. They could just....stop that, maybe?

"They could just....stop that, maybe?" The NYT seems to think 'worrying about looking just as (if not more!) upper-middle-class as your neighbords' is a Force of Nature rather than just the recent psychosis of people who live in Scarsdale and the Upper West Side.

That's fair; its not the psychosis that's recent but rather the NYT acting as tho its some universal, national crisis of parenting - rather than the same shit yenta-moms have been having anxiety-issues about forever

Big-media "journalists" write the story in advance and then farm 'facts' and 'quotes' to fill in the gaps. NYT is the absolute worst about this -- it's their core brand strategy.https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/03/a-lesson-in-ventriloquist-journalism.php …
