    Parenting is harder than ever, so I don’t blame parents.

    Back in the day you would have the mother home all the time, even more recently there was still a strong community in most places and big families meant lots of babysitters.

    Nowadays it’s fend for yourself for everybody almost everywhere, so raising a kid properly is almost impossible unless you are rich or have a lot of free time.

      While I can see your point I would like to point out that that might excuse problems parents have raising their children but not parents making that everyone else’s problem by insisting the rest of the world is made child-safe somehow.
