I think all children should be brought up in a commune.

  • you do realize abuse and neglect is even MORE likely when the person entrusted to their care doesn't have any personal connection to the kids.
    many families that leave all the care to a nanny typically end up with rotten kids cause the Nanny doesn't care to teach them to behave, their just there for the paycheck, and the parents are either too busy or don't care, so they never talk to their kids.

    sure, there are parents who are abusive twats, but barring them, its the most stable foundation for a kid growing up. the parents have an attachment to the kid, so they are (likely) going to do what they can to make sure their kid grows up to be a good responsible adult.

    teenage "rebellion" is a typical part of growing up. they are distancing themselves, from their parents and starting to act for themselves.

    now, yes, some may "rebel" more than others if the parents are particularly strict, but even they will typically calm down by about age 18 -20.

    many kids who grow up in broken homes, foster families (usually if they go through more than one family) , and the like
    (with some exceptions) tend to be aimless, and maybe detached towards others, and at worst, likely to engage in criminal behaviors, cause they didn't have a parental figure that was around long enough in their lives to give them support.

    the point is, kids growing up need a strong pillar of support, and their parents are usually the best for this.
