It’s not that parents don’t care, but they have less time than they have historically to parent, and both parents have to work to support the family in most cases.

I’ll spot you one deeper. Working families have been the norm for the bulk of human history. But we’ve also had large tribal communities full of extended family to provide social and economic support.

But the nuclear family, privatization of social services, and the wealth gap have closed off this network of relationships. In the modern world of commoditized labor and class politics, you either have servants or you are a servant.

Fascists translate the class politics to a social structure. For fascist men, the women become the servant gender to which men are entitled.

Further, as wealth aggregation generates a gulf between poverty and aristocracy, the aristocrats have a habit of monopolizing young people for their own personal demands. This leads to a problem of Surplus Males whose struggle for survival leads to domestic and criminal violence.

All of this degrades quality of life for the next generation.
