    Yeah. A lot of the shitty parents had kids at a very young age this generation and we’re seeing the repercussions of that.

    You need to be able to take care of yourself before you can take care of someone else.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more kids raised by their grandparents because their actual parents are shit.

      I’d actually hazard a guess that on average, parents are older these days. I don’t think the issue is really young parents, it’s that parents don’t discipline now. They just shove a screen in front of their kid instead of having a meaningful conversation. Parents now were raised with somewhat instant gratification and it’s even worse with their kids.

      Is this based on actual statistics of any kind, or just your ass?

      What?

      People used to have children at 18 (or earlier), most people now are waiting until their 30s if at all.
