Serious question.

We expect parents to:

* raise kids with minimal support
* work full-time to survive
* afford childcare that can cost as much as rent
* somehow still be present, healthy, and “balanced”

All while living far from family.

At what point do we admit this system might not be working?

Do you think modern parenting is set up to fail—or is this just the reality we have to adapt to?
