What do these have in common?

• opioid crisis
• criminality
• incarceration
• globalization

Why, they're reasons your kid's a snowflake!
Nah, that's what they want you to believe.
It's really climate change and fracking.

Remember Fred MacMurray and “My Three Sons?” Remember the “Mother figure?” LOLOL!

Garbage psychobabble!

Today, there are far too damned many "helicopter mothers/parents", institutionalized trophies for just being/breathing, teacher & prof propaganda, lefty PC crap, and lives that even for those in poverty, is far too "easy"!

And it has been the damned lefties who have divided all of us into "groups" and GROUP THINK!

From time immemorial, one of both parents have often died young, men went off to war and were gone for many years, and in large families ( especially amongst those who weren't wealthy ) older children took care of the younger ones. Mother child "bonding" was therefore non-existent! And until very recently, if the father was even there, none of them changed diapers, fed the baby/children, or "bonded" with the infant from birth through the age of 3 !

Today's stupid snowfake 20-almost 40 babies are self absorbed, stupid, uneducated ( even though they've had their collective arses is school seats for MUCH longer than any other generation! ), and have no REAL problems to overcome so they happily accept lefty manufactured HOAX ones!

So kids raised in day care and then pawned off on sports, scouts, band, etc. acting as surrogate baby sitters at night developed poorly? What a shock /s.

This essay is right on target. So much damage has been done to children today. Sad.

There's something to this theory. Previously, large families were normal and infants and children were constantly around their own mothers or any number of big sisters (mothers-in-training) and their Aunts or female cousins as well as grandmothers.

While a lot of women did die in childbirth, most didn't and men remarried quickly to women who understood that part of the deal was raising the kids.

It used to be well understood in psychology that great mothers weren't necessary but adequate mothers were critical to child development. You can't be 'adequate' if you are constantly gone or distracted by your phone or always behind the wheel of a car.

Fathers also have to physically be there for children. Every other week or never doesn't cut it for large populations of children even if some individual children can adapt.

It's worth considering if we have really thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
