      If I actually believed all or even most kids had parents who were genuinely both willing and able to look out for their interests on their behalf it would be much easier for me to agree with you

      So what, now you're generally suspicious of parental rights and responsibilities in general? I really don't get the point here.

      The instant you start saying "rights and responsibilities" I am instantly EXTREMELY suspicious Parenting is not a right and does not entail rights It is all responsibility

      Look, I didn't even actually say I want to abolish the family unit and raise children in communal creches But the thing is the people who try to make a case for responsible, accountable parenting are always the ones who scare the fuck out of me when talking about it

      My main problem is we don't have super good data on it (that I know of, please send me some). If it works better, then let's get rid of be nuclear family (which is already usually toxic) and implement a new system.

      In what universe would that ever happen? People aren't just going to surrender their children to the state and all attempts have shown that you can't convince large populations of your creche ideal.

      Ah, so we've switched over from the question of what *should* happen to what we can realistically expect to happen Of course I don't realistically expect parents to surrender power -- I don't expect anyone who has power to surrender it without a fight

      I do think that, as a society, the demographic transition and a smaller percentage of our population being parents is both a reflection of increased standards for parents and makes it easier for adults to take a moral stance limiting parental power, as a feedback loop

      I don't think it's so much increased standards for parents as an increase in socially acceptable life choices that don't involve building a traditional family with kids.

      No, it's both It's pretty obvious that one reason people are "intimidated" by having kids today and opt out of it is the perception that if you don't do everything possible to give your kids the best possible life you are a bad person for having them

          Conservatives think this is in itself a social problem and try to push back on it Bryan Caplan's "Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids" was a book that famously took the stance that parents should give themselves a break, that parents are too hard on themselves

          "You've already done the most important thing, you've given the child the gift of existence in the first place As long as you meet your other obligations at a basic level you should view bringing them into the world as a wholly positive thing" I hate this mindset passionately

          A parent had five kids, does good on the first. Decent on the second. And then lassez faire on the rest (and it shows once they grow up). Yeah today’s consensus is that they should have stopped at the second, but I don’t think there is a right answer

          There may not be a right answer, but having them stop once they can't do the emotional labor is a good answer.

          Every single parenting failure that I beat myself up for TODAY would have been prevented by a hardy social support system with communal care.

          Going on 16, my kid is awesome. Delightful to be around, rock solid morals, whip smart. I'm proud of him, but not proud of myself. If I spend more than an instant reflecting on "raising" him I burst into angry tears. The tests parents judge themselves by are countless and costly.
