It matters how you raise your kids
The idea is so manifestly ridiculous that I suspect those who think it is true, want it to be true.<p>Something I notice more and more as I age is that there’s a type of person who regularly externalizes responsibility. They seem to need excuses to absolve themselves of responsibility.<p>Parenting has been made so difficult by ever increasing standards of health and living, in conjunction with the continued fracturing of the extended family. It makes me wonder if externalization is a way to reconcile the impossible situation foisted upon many parents.<p>My wife and I have two kids under 6. We have a lot of money but almost zero family support.   We cannot even begin to comprehend how people raise larger families with less. It seems impossible given how we barely get by at a socially acceptable standard.
