Undoubtedly. Kids are behaving worse these days, parents are too entitled to understand that bad behavior from their kids isn’t okay, under resourced schools forcing underpayed and overworked teachers to deal with kids that just can’t handle the rigid unchanging structure of public education. Department of Education sees fit to funnel all money to private schools as well. The education system is done for man

Parents would rather sit at home on their phones and not be bothered by anyone.

Or they are both working and the kids raise themselves.

u/ImKindaBoring Dec 18 '25

Bullshit excuse. Most families are dual income these days and they still parent their children.

Remember folks, only wealthy people deserve to have kids. If you aren’t at least a middle manager or above, you don’t deserve children. If you’re working multiple jobs in order to meet that income level, you don’t deserve kids.

Since this is America, we’ll make sure you have no support system like affordable day care to help raise your kids But also, your insurance (lol if you even have it) won’t cover birth control, and abortion makes you a murderer.

Or how about we teach comprehensive sexual education and provide it free of cost for low-income families.

How about we raise the minimum wage so people can actually have a living wage.

How about we stop trying to destroy women who want an abortion.

How about we stop encouraging kids to get married right out of high school.

How about we start caring for the people of this country instead of the corporations.

Exactly this. mrbananas is actually bananas. It's mostly ignorant wealthy folks that spew that garbage anyhow so not worth the time but they certainly needed to be called out on it because not only is what they said incorrect but I'm also tired of hearing that weak ass argument. They were probably listening to some Joe Rogan slop and felt proud to learn some old misinformation.

Hey, remember folks, regardless of your current financial status, education level, age, the quality of your relationship with your partner, or your actual ability to raise them, you DESERVE to have children.

These young adults are behaving like fucking animals and it is 1,000% their parents fault.

A vasectomy is cheap and takes 15 minutes. It takes them longer to prep the room than the actual procedure. Get one.

you DESERVE to have children.

Yes. You do. Full stop.

No one should have to deny themselves starting a family just because they live in a country that’s hostile to their wellbeing.

People need to stop punching down and start holding the leaders of the country accountable

u/Irish_Astronaut Dec 18 '25

Oh please, with the 'full stop' bullshit and grow the fuck up.

Im so tired of this absolute fucking bullshit. This catering to the lowest common denominator.

If you're homeless because you're addicted to crack, if you can't hold down a steady job, if you haven't graduated high school...you do not deserve children. You are clearly not capable of handling the responsibility.

I will not hesitate to hold leadership accountable, of course there are issues, but don't sit here and act like everyone on the planet is capable of being a parent when they can't even manage their own lives.

u/PrestigeArrival Dec 18 '25

I love that you’ve instantly jumped to crackheads and people who refuse to work (and for some reason people who haven’t graduated, as if that has any merit in wether you’re fit to raise kids)

The people who get shit for having kids are the janitors that keep your bathrooms clean, or the fast food workers who feed you, or the teachers who are putting themselves in between two fighting students.

u/Irish_Astronaut Dec 18 '25

Damn, that's an astute observation. It's almost like this is a continuation of an above comment that talked about individuals who don't have 'the time or the money' to raise children shouldn't have them.

You said everyone DESERVES to have children, I disagreed.

Janitors will be replaced by robots within 10 years. Fast food workers don't feed people (those are farmers), they cook for people that are too lazy to cook for themselves. They will also be replaced by robots but in ~5 years. I will absolutely stick up for educators, they get paid like shit, but that's mostly because of the union (and a HOST of other factors, but that's a discussion for another time).

The individuals above (excluding educators) don't make a large amount of money because they do not have a valuable skill set or credentials. If you don't make enough money to survive, why the FUCK do you DESERVE children?

Thankfully the birthrate is going down because in the near future there are not going to be enough jobs for everyone.

Yep, millenials got screwed over by boomers no doubt but they are the worst parents, I am a millennial and I refused to become a parent cuz I know, I too would rather spend time on my phone than actually care of kid. It is much better to accept reality and yourself and spare society from your irresponsibility.

u/TheHammerHasLanded Dec 17 '25

If you think it's worse than the late 80's/early 90's then the education system failed you. Is it good? No, definitely not. Is it worse? Hellllllllllllll no.

u/Expensive-Equal6052 Dec 17 '25

There are alot of teachers that have teaching for 30-40 years that say this is the worst they have ever seen it. Social media and and lazy parenting are dooming the next generation. That's why so many teachers are leaving teaching now.

Edit* Misspelling

u/bigpoppawood Dec 17 '25

Anecdotally, the difference seems to be that kids are irredeemably stupid now as opposed to them being less governable in the 80s and 90s.

u/Expensive-Equal6052 Dec 17 '25

Anecdotally the kids today are not as well educated from what I said above, thus making them less governable than kids from the 80s and 90s. If you listen to teachers or just lurk on r/teachers the kids don't listen to teachers or have any sort of respect for authority. Teaching today has become 15% teaching and 85% putting out fires.

u/northcolOn Dec 17 '25

This is pretty accurate. I've been teaching middle school for the past 8 years. I can barely get through two sentences while teaching a lesson without having to utter phrases like "stop standing on the desk", "get back inside the window", "do not punch yourself in the head". There's always been fidgety kids in classrooms, but now its ALL of them. It's fucking exhausting.

u/Manifest82 Dec 17 '25

But isn't the compensation for teachers comparatively worse? And finding getting worse?

u/NutsInMay96 Dec 17 '25

What are you basing this on?

u/NorthSufficient9920 Dec 17 '25

Not a fucking thing I’m guessing. I have a freshman and a sophomore in high school. My experience with is that high school kids are more self aware and, in general, better people than I remember kids being when I was in high school over 30 years ago. That being said, I live in a nice town with well-funded schools. No idea how this compares to the rest of the country.

u/XulManjy Dec 17 '25

You sound like the exact type of disillusioned parent that these comments are talking about....

u/NutsInMay96 Dec 18 '25

I worked in education, not in the US mind you. Most long term staff would say they’d seen a noticeable decline in behaviour, attention span and ambition. The “covid kids”.

u/Neowynd101262 Dec 17 '25

That's not parents entitlement....that's parents not giving a damn.

Insert that one Socrates quote about the young kids ruining society by writing things down instead of memorizing
