Following a discussion about how family's live today and how  parenting has changed over time from how kids are taught down to what meals they eat  and  how much family time kids have now compared to years ago 

Do you think it's better now, than say when you had kids ?

My very abridged version is that I think the overwhelming majority of parents do the very best they can within the constraints forced upon them.

Non starters will always be non starters and they have been around forever too.

There’s a massive question mate, everyone will have a different take on that one but the fact is some things are better and some are worse.

The individual decides which is which in every single case imho

That's so true.

Times have changed. I was listening to a radio program not long ago about some thing like this topic.  The amount of couples that said they couldn't afford to have children was mind boggling. Both had to work to pay, life choices.

The things that shouldn't change in raising childern is, bring them up, well fed, clothed, educated, honest, respectful, protected and most of all loved.

If that can be done, then their should be nothing to worry about.

My wife looks after two set of kids during the week, for couples that work. 

They don't see their kids from 7am, till maybe 4pm till 7pm. It's hard on the kids as well as the parents, then them  trying to make up for it on the weekend

The day of one bread winner is mostly gone

Very, very good post that mate ?
