The nuclear family structure is 1 mom 1 dad and their kids. You've heard of that. However, there is also community parenting which is how children were raised in prehistoric days. The basic idea is that you have a woman give birth to a child and every trusted adult in the community raises it. I think this is much better for various reasons:
1. Generational trauma would be much more difficult to achieve. In modern western society, children are stuck with their parents until they're 18 or older, these parents can basically abuse their child emotionally and they can't go anywhere, leading to trauma and them raising their children with the same cycle. In community parenting, they could hang out in a different home if their parents hate them for whatever reason.
2. More role models. If you're using this forum, chances are that you know how single mothers tend to fuck up their sons and their masculinity. With community parenting, children will naturally gravitate towards strong father figures for boys and strong mother figures for girls, and thus a positive gender role cycle is formed that is lacking today.
3. The choice to raise a child becomes less of an all-or-nothing ordeal. This means that people won't be overwhelmed with regret in either direction because they aren't stuck with no kids or kids they don't want. What do you guys think?
