She should be grateful! The protocol is to let her and her child starve, for the crime of contributing more humans to society.
That’s what you get for not being a Libertarian sociopath!
Oh, and we need to get the birth rate up!
This is not a depiction of a village, this is what happens when the village no longer exists and everyone has to live in isolation from any social safety nets. Or to put it another way, Neoliberalism.
Yes, but think of the shareholder value.
Wow you’re right. I’ll have 2 neoliberalisms please. Gonna max out those shareholder values 💪
Nah, in a village you’d see kids at work with parents sometimes too. Usually you’d have some kind of daycare situation, but sometimes that’s not an option.
I can totally see a village shop where the owner is there with a baby, and the kid kinda grows up in the shop.
The difference is that they’d own the shop tho…
We aren’t talking about rasing a kid in a literal village within a Neoliberal society. “It takes a village” is an idiom about how the entire community should help to properly raise a child.
The saying emphasizes that a child’s upbringing is a communal effort involving many different people and groups, from parents to teachers to neighbors and grandparents.
The whole idea underscores the belief that the collective involvement of a community is essential in achieving a certain goal or completing a task, like raising a kid.
Essentially, it’s a friendly reminder that asking for help with hard things is okay because many hands make light work.
Childhood Memories Unlocked.
When I was in China, my mother had to find my grandmother (her mother) to babysit me when she was doing migrant work in GuangZhou (she did not have a HuKou in GuangZhou, so its basically a second-class citizen). So I’m assuming my grandmother weren’t available for some reason, so my mother took me to her work. It was some sales job that was mostly commission based, the actuall monthly income was low. And also, unlike in the west, the pay was monthly, not bi-weekly or weekly. And forget about unions, they don’t exist.
And not the mention, the fine she had to pay for violating the One Child Policy (I was the second child)
Very tangential, but isn’t the biweekly to weekly pay and american thing? My western country pays monthly too.
What are these comments? This isn’t good at all.
That kid not being in daycare is costing the economy probably 1k a month in child care fees. Not to mention the worker is probably being less efficient.
Imagine if you worked really hard to open some McDonald’s branches and the workers all started to bring their kids in. Workers these days have no sense of respect.
This is so fucking depressing.
You don’t understand. The baby needs to pull her mom up by her bootstraps.
Lazy ass baby
