That's the best way I can describe it. Just neverending. Which sounds obvious but the actual experience of always having to parent, phew...
I'm not having the best day today. He's on summer break and hanging with me all day. We did okay yesterday but today it was just a domino of me feeling disappointed in myself that the house is always a mess and probably a level beyond that, like there's too much stuff to fit. But my own level of non-cleanliness has rubbed off on my kid cause there's no proper place to put his stuff. So I started cleaning then asked him to do some small tasks but I was feeling resentful for how he seems to just drop things wherever. I get it, you also got to teach them how to clean up and implement chores etc. and thus adds to the relentless grind of having to have these long term parenting plans but also try to be present in the moment and enjoy things and somehow have endless stores of patience. Today I definitely haven't. I've lost my shit and yelled and just let things domino out of control into a terrible grouchiness. I know some days suck and we get up and try again. Just wanted to get it out I guess. No advice needed. Just ranting to rant.
I think, children need more than two people looking after them.
I am so sad that religion forced society to normally live in groups with only two adults to rise kids.
At least Christians did.
Christians did this? Even religion at all? Surely it's the industrial revolution?
But yeah, I agree fully that kids need more than just two people looking after them. This isn't how it was meant to be. No wonder there's more stress on each new generation. More to learn, more to do, less means to do it with, housing is fucked, economy is fucked, world peace is fucked, abroad is fucked, home is fucked. And having kids on top of all that? There's a reason that birth rates have plummeted worldwide. It's not a good world to have kids in.

chatGPT agrees, guess I interpreted history wrong and it was Industrial Revolution that changed society in that way and was then adapted in religions

I know what I will research more tomorrow
But now I have to sleep

Are you a bot
I just used gpt to verify my wrongness because it was after midnight and I didn’t want to go down the rabbit whole just yet, how is this so hard to understand?!
