Yeah, I know I shouldn't expect much from a site like that, but since it's shared here I felt like I should shine a little light on the deeper issues.
This kind of superficial "journalism" rage-baiting boomers for clicks is really frustrating to me. Shit like this is brain-rot at least as bad as Tiktok is. It has always existed, but the extent to which it has replaced actual analysis and investigation is depressing.
Yes, the parents are partially at fault, of course. But as you indicated, there are significant societal pressures that force families into dynamics like this and it's not realistic to expect an overwhelming majority to be able to resist it, alone. And since we're not about to engage in class-based eugenics, it's up to society to give them a serviceable ladder to climb out of their situation.
So, TLDR; I wanted to shine a light on deeper issues, so that people don't think that this is solely a moral failing of parents, and that they DO understand that we have a collective responsibility to help families.
