Thank you for this thoughtful comment!
From what I have read it seems that the people who still live in tribes value parenthood so much more than the people who adopted the modern lifestyle. It seems quite odd, isn't it?

It’s not odd, it’s planned and intentional. Industrialisation and progress are leading to alienation and individualism. It’s breaking of traditional structures like extended families and tribes, villages.
In the end, it’s divide and conquer

@creativemary, I sent you anThis explains why we have such issues nowadays with loneliness , as we moved from the comfort of tribes to solitary walls made out of brick where technology feeds the numbing/alienation process.
True.
Another "issue" that leads to this alienation, although you may not agree with me, is women's emancipation.
With women on full time jobs and away from families, the result is smaller and alienated families. And children indoctrinated by authorities because they spend more time in institutions than at home :(
I really like that you are open to discuss about such a "spicy" topic as some opinions can be quite unpopular. I would dare to say that emancipation has been the main goal of both sexes and this has left children extremely lonely in front of screens, locked up in fancy institutions that parents pay with hours from their lives. I agree with you and the path that parenthood is heading towards nowadays seems pretty rocky and scary for me. I feel that the fundamentals of society , as in a healthy family structure, have beeen severely shattered by the idea that kids are just fine with any caregiver as long as we can afford to pay for it. Children need moms the most in their first 2 years and somehow this fundamental is being slowly erased from the collective conscioussness as if it is something to be paid for.
The real emancipation is that in the matters of ideas. Working more and binging on extra workload is not emancipation, it is modern slavery. The handcuffs are shiny and steal the eyes while the children "pay the fine" for this.
The solution for this would be...a whole different spicy topic in itself.
So true. The solution, maybe too idealistic would be to create co-sustainable parallel systems in everything that matters in life - families/tribes/communities with their own child care, schooling, food, transport, finance (or lack of it), healthcare, ..., and so on. Away for this for-profit and one rich-many poor model that we are being forced into. Life should be so much more than just grinding day in day out for somebody else to take benefits of.
