Mother Shares How Tough It Is To Be A Parent These Days

Times really have changed. Things are so different now as compared to they were a few decades ago. Some say things are easier now with the incorporation of technology in almost everything. It is said that the modern world has been created to assist the humans living within. However, there is another school of thought that says times are extremely tough nowadays, and that living life is not easy anymore. The basis of their argument is that there have been set very stringent and high standards that everyone must meet to be accepted in society. When people try to meet standards they are not built to meet, it causes the birth of mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

In today’s story, we have a mother who took it to Reddit and absolutely blew up about how difficult it is to be a parent in today’s world. Scroll down below to read her point of view.

3. The school standards were really easy on the students as well. Learning was effective and easy on the brain.

6. It seems like they are just too quick to jump the gun with these strict evaluations. Give the children a break.

7. What is the point of smartness that gives you anxiety? This is bad teaching. These are bad standards.

8. It is a mess. Children are expected to not be children. Sure!

9. The millennial age is too harsh man.

This is a full-on rant that the tough conditions forced out of this mother. To be honest, no one can keep up with this toughness. The standards to live are already too high and the preceding economy is making things even worse. This is just the absolute worst. We really are lowkey unlucky to be born in this modern era because it is no good for us. What is the point of all the advancements when 6-year-olds are getting anxiety and depression?

10. She then proceeded to rant about how she literally does everything and her husband does the bare minimum.

11. OP also runs her own business because it would’ve been impossible to survive on her husband’s salary alone as the economy is too tight.
