Enter abortion and today's throw-away children... kids are an embellishment, a lifestyle choice, especially for the well off and educated. They can be farmed out or forgotten in a hot car on a warm day. The so-called rad trads are absolutely headed in the right direction.chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572343815653919382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-73861280461840832692016-02-14T18:44:19.740-06:002016-02-14T18:44:19.740-06:00There is no conflict here if you embrace the princ...There is no conflict here if you embrace the principle of subsidiarity. The concept of "educating parents" smacks of state intervention - is that what you want? The problem is cultural, due to a loss of connection with parents and older relatives once we reach adulthood. You blamed this on the education system in Designed to Fail. In the past, grandparents and extended family did not live far away from each other, aka, in sunny Florida, feeling entitled to cruises and "senior living." How do you think large families managed to get by? A great deal of loving and nurturing makes for a good priest. Extended families absorbed some of the burden, so this could happen. <br /><br />Now, let's look at your average college graduate. The only advantage she has is maturity, since I have never heard of a credit course called The Feeding, Care and Discipline of Children, have you? If anything, today's college grad mom is slavishly over-reliant on her doctor, which seems immature to me, whereas before she would just ask her ma, who had plenty of experience, having raised a large family herself. <br /><br />College education today is correlated with delayed childbirth, which so frequently depends on contraception, don't you know? College is geared toward extending adolescence, and does absolutely nothing to enhance future responsible parenting. Upon graduation, mothers are expected to pay their loans and "use their degree" by taking jobs after graduation. This obviously necessitates daycare, which is nothing short of avoiding parental responsibility. Do you think for hire daycare providers are really going to give us priests??chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572343815653919382noreply@blogger.com
