Comment on Not stealing
grindemup@lemmy.world 3 days agoI don’t really follow your train of thought. People would have been just as aware (if not more, due to the prevalence of multigenerational households) of this in the past as they are now, no?

In the past people didn’t have access to a device with endless information about how rough it is the raise kids. Instead they had other local parents as a source, and those parents just wanted company in thier misery.

When I was a kid we used to just get thrown outside along with all the other kids and told not to come back until lunch time.
We used to get up to all sorts no one cared. At one point someone’s dad took us all to the beach which was about an hour away, we all just got in this strangers car (never met him before) and went to the beach. I don’t remember my parents been even remotely bothered by that when they found out.

There definitely was a “they are replaceable” attitude back then. Now try to imagine the generations before us, when 13 kids wasn’t that abnormal. And that 13 only counted the ones that survived.
