Changing the Japanese narrative of parenthood

2 comments

1. IDK, I come from a Christian nation and the Japanese do a much better job with family relationships than “christians”. Mental and physical abuse seem to be a standard in Christian families. Sure it happens here but back home, the families that go to church ALWAYS has one abusive parent if not both.

   The birthrate is falling because people can’t afford kids. No moral issue, they are just broke.

2. > When young individuals repeatedly encounter stories like these and portrayals that focus solely on the challenges, struggles and undesirable aspects of having children, they tend to question whether they are ready or capable of handling the responsibilities and sacrifices associated with starting a family.

   Yes, as they should.

   I was raised by incredibly selfish parents. They clearly never considered what it takes to raise a child. People like my parents shouldn’t have kids.
