And, I might add... parental guidance and involvement.
Yep. The last 30-50 years are the culmination of the anti-father feminazi legislation in “family” court. Dirty little secret is that dad didn’t WALK away, he was PUSHED away due to the courts winking at Mom’s trashing dad’s character. Dad ends up spending tens of thousands of dollars to try and protect his parental rights which is truly swimming upstream. Turn on the TV and you’ll see a host of commercials where mom and the kids are smarter than dad. Now add to this:
1. the lack of fresh air, exercise and sunshine
2. the lack of work/chores for children (they need this to feel a real part/asset to the family; gov’t says it’s “abuse”)
3. the lack of discipline (once again, gov’t equate all correction with “abuse” except in minority communities where they look the other way)
4. crappy junk food/chemical diet
5. diagnosing every childhood trait as a “disorder” and overprescribing meds for such.
6. allowing children to call the shots in the home (especially when mom and dad don’t live under the same roof)
7. “pansifying” the children by not allowing competition and natural conflict resolution (anti-bullying, goth, EMO groups, etc,)
8. gov’t agencies set up to impoverish dad through massive CS orders secretly profiting from Title IV-D kickbacks, yet conspiring with mom and prosecuting dad for “abuse” when he tries to set healthy boundaries with Junior.
And you’ve got a ticking tine bomb.
