A side-effect of capitalism is the destruction of community. Back in the day when nuclear families weren't the only kind of family possible, first-time parents leart all of this from their in-laws. But now they need to take parenting classes.
I'm from semi-rural India, and it worked that way when I was a kid, but things are starting to change there as well.
I once discovered that my moka pot had an industrial grease stuck to it in an area that is almost impossible to clean. I used it so many times before finding that out...
Ah yes the famous learning curve of having to READ the INSTRUCTION BOOKLET of the things you buy
Land sakes ahead, HOW WILL WE MANAGE TO COPE WITH IT ALL
The worst this is that it's not even a READING thing.
Its a CARING thing.
God-damn, it's your fucking baby. You wanted it? you should have turned since conception into a linear algebra organic machine, devoted solely to calculating solutions for MIGHT DIE scenarios for your baby, applying n dimensional matrices to explore possibility space
Within the first few years, you should have been able to calculate most obvious scenarios (choking hazards, sand pits, piranhas, etc)
That frees up time to calculate the utmost edge cases ( wormhole traveling, memetic incursions, local brane collapse, and so on)
If you are smart about it, you can find an optimal stock selection strategy algorithm within P-Space
My brother had a kid and I always feel like some out of touch old man when we talk about it. Once he told me todlers can only have distilled water and I had to stop myself from going "Back in my day, my parents gave me tap water and I turned out fine!"
So why are mothers expected to just figure things out on their own? We humans have women living way past fertile age because they were important for children, and suddenly we decided we don't need grandma's help passing along generational knowledge and helping first time mothers. Grandma/Grandpa are supposed to be free and focus on helping the parents so they learn and don't make mistakes because they don't know anything.
And community too. It's so isolated. Makes me sad, and afraid to have children.
