I’m glad someone’s trying to do anything at all about it. People asking “what about at home”, it’s the parents fault then. Actually be involved with your kids lives…they won’t be in yours that long and it’s not a sacrifice to sit down with them and watch them do homework or anything at all really.
Do you realize how many parents work two full-time jobs? A lot, especially single parents. It’s not as simple as “spend more time with your kids” when every ‘free’ moment you have is spent driving, preparing food, or doing basic chores / hygiene routines.
I’ve worked many warehouse and similar jobs. There are a lot of parents who really love their children and express that by allowing themselves to be economically exploited every single minute of their life to guarantee their children a better future.
Sure, there are also parents who just don’t give a shit and park their kids on an iPad, but that has always been the case in one form or another. The trend where even caring parents are unable to spend enough time with their children is a consequence of a society-wide failure and the shameless embrace of capitalism.
I am a single parent full time job don’t make a whole lot of money if I lost my job we would be homeless within a few months and I still find time to sit with my child every day so I guess you’re right some people can some people can’t. I make it work I live below my means i pretty much buy nothing I have old clothes used clothes used furniture shop for food with coupons my cars 13 years old. I don’t know I guess?
Full time job, singular. I’ve known single parents who work two full-time jobs. Might be necessary for a variety of reasons. If they can financially work it out so they spend more time with their child and live below their means like you do, I 100% think that’s the smarter choice for their child’s wellbeing. But for some people it might not be feasible, for example if they have medical expenses or if they need to live near an older relative or tons of other reasons.

I understand, there’s always a ying to the yang.
