    this does seem insane to me have to wonder about the society wide effects of doing this like who on earth thought this was a good idea. when did this starthttps://twitter.com/willlowthewhisp/status/1387800057622183936 …

    For perspective, it's illegal to separate cats and dogs from their mothers earlier than 8 weeks, but ok for humans, who have larger brains and need significantly more attachment time than animals which develop quicker?

        this specifically is the political issue about which my views have shifted most since having a kid it somehow never occurred to me that most(?) parents were putting their kids in day care while they were still infants who thought this was a good idea????

        on the other hand it literally took rousseau to revive breastfeeding among haute parisians so maybe things have been strange for quite a while

        I have always thought that the British Condition is primarily due to being handed off to a nanny, then shipped off to boarding school for 12 years, with maybe one year total of face to face contact with parents before the age of 18. The British upper class is mentally scarred.

        And yet we periodically do it to poor women, in adoption and surrogacy. It's amazing how all the concern stops when it's CPS doing the separating.

        The idea that this is a recent development is completely false. "By the 18th century, approximately 90% of infants were wet nursed, mostly sent away to live with their wet nurses." Same in England, and they'd keep the infants for _years_.

        As described, it seems like that'd have a level of continuity of care more like caring for your own kids, than like the modern institutions. While there are certain to be effects from outsourcing alone (eg, personality is heritable), I expect this aspect is the bigger deal.

        Also, the changes: 1. Larger families are less of a thing, so more burden on parents 2. Single income not enough to have someone look after kids fulltime! 3. So nanny/daycare becomes imp 4. I don't know specific support ($ to parents) is better than general support (better wages)
