      1. parents almost uniformly say they get many emotional benefits from children. 2. bosses don't *necessarily* exert unreasonable control either. the issue is potential. 3. this is really not always the case at all. 4. again, this is an incredibly blinkered assertion.https://twitter.com/Hosea910/status/1338601606045192194 …

      1) Parents don’t benefit from children 2) Parents don’t necessarily exert unreasonable control 3) Children benefit strongly from parents. 4) Children exhibit strong positive loyalty to their parents. The existence of a power relationship doesn’t imply tyranny.

      You don't think "getting fed from the day they were born till they leave the house" benefits kids?

      "getting fed from the day they were born till they leave the house" is almost always conditional, and the conditions are frequently actual atrocities

      yeah; if we agree that food and shelter should be rights in a just society, providing kids with food and shelter is...not necessarily particularly virtuous.

      Replying to @nberlat @506510713 @4completegames

      All of this discourse starts with the idea that babies who had no choice in being born come into this world completely destitute and this is good and just, and parents choosing to give them food and shelter into adulthood is an act of great generosity I consider this monstrous

      There's always a cold little core inside me that resists sympathy when even the nicest parents start with the bitching about how hard having kids is If you had it forced on you, I'm really really sorry But most of the time they didn't, it was 100% voluntary and chosen

          And you know who really has to live with the consequences of your bad life decisions, the kid God, I wish it were just something like owning a boat where after a year of trying to prove you're a competent and responsible enough person to own a boat you could just sell it

          Most of my complaints about being a parent concern how hard parenting in this particular society is? And there aren’t many safety nets. The parenting part is fine (hard, but yes I signed up for it) everything else is terrifying.

          Sure, and our society leans towards compulsory parenthood by not supporting medically accurate sex ed & generally restricting access to reproductive healthcare. And then Collective We offer parents virtually no structural support. We can do better.

          Before abortion was legal and now not easy to get, the decision whether or not to become a parent wasn't necessarily voluntary. The birth control pill wasn't available until five years after I graduated from high school. Best we had was a diaphragm. Problematic.

          I think a lot of people assume having kids must be a great idea that works out for everyone, because their grandparents did it... but are often totally clueless about how limited their grandparents' ability to avoid it actually was.

          I think some of the underlying cultural ideas around parenting were formed in a time when women, at least, often had very little control over whether or not they had kids... and the choice/control factor has DRASTICALLY gone up but we haven't thought through what that changes

          Some of these cultural aphorisms people go to make a lot more sense when you assume a kid's mother really didn't choose to have them either, and pregnancy both endangered her life and increased material hardship. A lot of people's modern parenting decisions are... not that

          Generally agree, however there's a huge stigma around women admitting that parenting is hard & seeking help, so I usually extend sympathy. Many things are voluntary yet also hard, such as getting a PhD - we should be able to talk about the strain, even if it's self-inflicted.
