No, it's not. The end result of outsourcing your kids is the same. You can not honestly deny that truth. Like others, you don't like the truth.
BTW, why don't you vote for Democrats? They see it the same way. I would be viewed as an “extremist”. Demoncrats want pre-k to be part of the government schools. Why? So more people can dump them off. Demncrats WANT you to work. They need your tax dollars to SPEND on others other than yourself! Make sure that happens!
Yes, for those “single parents” many do have to work. Had they made wiser choices, they wouldn't be single parents. Yes, I know, people don't want to hear that either. Somehow that is MY fault their live in situation or marraige didn't work out. It just goes on and on and on. It always comes down to LACK of individual responsibility and pure selfishness.
Good luck having the “village” raise your kids because you can't part with the money. Never consider putting a child above money and sacrificing a little to give them what they truly need - love and your precious time.
Yes, flame away !
I suppose we can all hop into a time machine and undo our “bad choices” right nmh? Who are you, Dr. Emmett Brown?
People want to avoid personal responsibility and then shirk it on to others.
How many make bad choices at one time or another, and then down the road the price has to be paid. But the cost is too painful, and SHOULD be "shared" by others.
How many people make terrible choices in marriage, only to end up in divorce later.
How many of those now find themselves in "dire straights" and EXPECT someone else to bail them out.
On the flip side, as far as responsibility goes, there are others who refuse to see THEIR responsibility in helping others PERSONALLY.
Government is a way of detaching ourselves from the needs of others. Knowing government programs are out there, shields us from getting dirty.
It used to be that charity and compassion were the realms of churches, but have given that over to government. Churches used to be charity plus accountability. Today we EXPECT charity with NO accountability.
We have washed our hands of holding anybody accountable, and refuse to be held accountable ourselves.
We, as a society, act completely on emotion. We feel terrible about pain we bring upon ourselves and demand the removal of the pain. We are indignant about the discomfort others bring upon us.
We fail to realize that life at times is tough, whether our doings or not, and refuse the hard work involved.
We have all become insolent children.
so, you think it’d be better to live in a shack, barely able to survive, have one parent a complete stranger because they’re busting their hump 60+ hours a week, not be able to afford anything extra- for the kids of course, because in your world a parent would sacrifice everything imaginable- so the kids can grow up in absolute misery, ridiculed and mocked at school for their unkempt appearance, jealous of the other kids who actually get to do things, and end up worse off than if the other parent worked?
no. in too many cases, that second income means that the time that the parents do have with their children becomes a more meaningful time. that there is money left over for setting up savings accounts for college, money for the children to be involved in activities, money for vacations, to see family. money for birthday parties, and Christmas. for piano lessons, or dance classes, or baseball, or whatever activies they choose.
Ideally, yes, a parent should be able to stay home, but it is not always possible.
but heck, if one parent stays home, why shouldn’t both? should we advocate a more amish living where both parents are around all the time? that the kids begin working around the house with their parents about as soon as they can walk? the kids would sure get more time with their parents.
also lets consider, that in the time when stay at home moms were the norm, what actually happened with the kids? i remember getting up during summer and everyday leaving the house and only coming back for lunch, then running right back out. i never saw my mom anyway, what was the point of her being home?
