Taking care of your kids can be fun but it is work, which is not paid and not honoured (as this thread shows). Of course it’s the parents “fault” and responsibility but why is it so difficult to see it from a solution based angle: our world would be so much better if we as a society would take more care in raising our children. My child is your future employee, neighbour, colleague, political representative, nurse etc… The well being of every child should be in everyone’s interest.
