The solution is to make parental education and training free and widely available. Also mental healthcare for the parents who are passing on generational trauma because they haven’t dealt with their own shit. And ideally the ability for people to socialize more so they can support each other’s kids as well in short bursts
The emotional commitment issues are worth taking seriously, but I wonder if we should compare it against the unhealthy obsession with the Love Of Your Life that comes with the nuclear family. Half of marriages end in divorce, and those that stay married often end up resenting each other.
They probably intended more of a "everyone rotates nannying roughly equally" which wouldn't have that problem. I wonder if something can be salvaged from their attempt or we need an entirely new form.
