I absolutely hate the idea of kids taking care of siblings. Stop having kids if you cannot afford to get help to take care of them. Your older children are not your fuckin nannies
So many people suffer from the effects of parentification. I would NEVER want to be the oldest sibling
Like how can you make your 12 yr old daughter more accountable to your younger children than you do your baby daddy? I do not understand
Ppl are extrapolating extreme scenarios to make themselves feel better. Explore that on your own timeline.
We had to change our school start & dismissal time cuz our students were late cuz they were dropping off younger siblings that they have to get ready for school. We paid someone to watch the younger siblings so our students could do extracurricular activities. Please spare me
Older Kid wants to go to summer camp but can’t because their parents made them the summer camp leader for the lil kids
So many ppl are fighting for the right to make children nannies. Taking away their childhood is the parent’s right they say. I do not care what unfortunate position the parent is in, it will NEVER be the job of the child to raise YOUR kids.
And I wont even tell y’all about the number of parents who will not pay for college enrollment fees or give tax info for fafsa because their older child going to college is a threat to their free childcare
