I believe parenting and education is the responsibility of the elders

It's crazy to think we have those with little experience of life educating our children. What makes them more equipped than those with experience? And we call ourselves evolved lol

Elders are old, and parenting takes a ton of energy. We do what we can, like our parents before us, such is the nature of life. But it's often smart to lean on the experienced for advice.

@QuixoticSoul what you have to learn your elders already know. They know how not to exhaust themselves.

@JovialPlutonian Lmao. Well my elders tell me that it's better to have kids when you're young so that you have the energy to keep up, and they sure as hell aren't planning on doing the heavy lifting.

@QuixoticSoul yes lifting a baby is way too much for a 50 year old to lift, how could I ever of come up with such a stupid idea lol

@QuixoticSoul no one said anything about having kids when one is old

@JovialPlutonian What I mean is that my folks are expecting me to do the parenting. They are only committing to spoiling the crap out of their grandchildren and having a good time. Maybe some occasional light babysitting.
