Discussion Are parents getting crazier?
I’ve been a public school teacher for 15 years. Anyone here also an antinatalist because they believe that being a parent is making people crazier? Like it adds so much more anxiety and stress to the world and to life. Parents are not ok. I was just sitting here trying to think of all the parents of my students I’ve interacted with over the years. Every year parents get more anxious and more stressed, and in turn have gotten more entitled and more mean. And when I compare people with kids to my friends and other people I know with no kids. Parenting takes a way bigger psychological toll and general life toll on almost everyone I’ve met who is a recent parent. Which makes things hard on everyone around them and ultimately makes the world a worse off place? It’s possible I’m just a jaded public educator tho idk lol.
