I watched the movie Babes with my wife last night, and it perfectly encapsulated this tweet.
And I surprisingly enjoyed it despite being childfree myself. It didn't gloss over the shity parts of parenthood like most movies do, and it was honest about how much it can suck.
The problem is as /u/DupaCycki@lemmy.world pointed out, an issue of capitalism. The movie unfortunately and unsurprisingly didn't address that, it sort or just carried on with the status quo assumption that the current situation and system doesn't need replaced. That's the only bit I didn't enjoy.
IMO the best replacement system I've seen proposed is the Aandrisk system of hatch/feather/house families from Becky Chamber's "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" series.
For those unfamiliar, Aandrisks are humanoid reptiles with feathers for hair, and they divide their lives into three sections, hatch family, feather family, and house family.
Everyone is "born" as hatchling, being raised in groups of a dozen or two, in hatch families. They aren't really considered people until they are physically mature. Generally they aren't actually siblings, but instead come from donated eggs.
Once they mature they leave to go form feather families. These basically are polycules of people in their 20s to late 30s that are there for community, sexual relations, and to explore the world. They don't raise kids, they live their life and gain experience. Any offspring they do produce gets dropped off at a house family.
House families are older groups, often formed from old feather families who are looking to settle down and stabilize. They take in eggs from feather families and raise them to maturity.
It's got an elegance we are very much lacking in humans, especially with capitalism being in the mix.
