LOL.....it is not really off topic because Mother/child relationship is crucial in early childhood for emotional healthy people—as is the father/child bond a little later. All worldview/reality is pretty much set in the formative years—0-7 years. Freud was right in this area.
What happens to children in early years determine their future longterm relationships AND whether they will be fat or not—eat too much and wrong type of foods because of emotional problems or habituation in early childhood of junk food and exercise levels. Sitting in front of the TV is habituated.
Sure, there are other factors, but with no nurturing loving mothers—children are really set up to fail in all areas of life. There are exceptions but It is a miracle if they don’t fail.
I would agree with all the very useful comments on this thread posted by savagesusie.
And there is political relevance. Because, basically, it was LBJ who decided to use the welfare system to break up families, against the advice of Senator Pat Moynihan, who was one of the last Democrats standing with any real moral sense.
Break up the families, write the welfare rules so the fathers have to leave the house to ensure welfare payments for the mother and children. Moynihan noted that blacks were at a tipping point, and his warning was ignored—or, rather, misused. They deliberately tipped it further, resulting in new generations of blacks growing up in broken homes, and they had them on the Democrat plantation forever. At least until the system breaks down in a Cloward Piven kind of way.
And, increasingly, white families as well.
If our country is ever to recover, it will require a return to religion and family, first.
