So you're telling me I should pay somebody else to parent my children? Just take the responsibility and parent them yourself instead of watching TV after work like a lazy bitch.

It’s not that simple. Apparently you’re not seeing what’s going on with parents being arrested for trying to parent their children. They want your kids. They’re coming for them. They want you out of the way. And the kids help them. Fool.

Pretty sure paying someone to parent your child is exactly what public schooling is...

I agree, but it is also good to have reinforcement outside of just the home environment. Not saying you need to pay a deprogrammer like Dilbert-Merchant, but some type of fellowship with like-minded folks can help cement good values into your child's character. I say this as someone who had parents who espoused good values at home, but never took me to be around others with those same values. When I had my teenage rebellious years, and thought everything my parents said was stupid for no good reason, there were no good outside influences readily available to me when I went astray. Yes, it's 100% my fault, but when you're that age, and don't want to listen to what your parents have to say, sometimes hearing it from an unrelated group keeps you grounded. Good thing I snapped out of it before the age of 30, and didn't wind up becoming some antifa loser, but it would have been better to have never gone done that path in the first place, and I believe that positive influences outside of just family would have been helpful in that regard.
