The thing about satire is there is a message there. By its nature satire uses humor and exaggeration to point things out to an audience and highlight flaws in a context other than dry logical deconstruction, that allows one to make a statement without just saying what they mean. Traditionally satire is used to mock or criticize by definition. With all available context the obvious message here, done in humor or not, is that modern parenting is more challenging than in the past. If one wanted to highlight the challenges to a modern parent they can do it, using humor, without insulting parents of the pasts struggles. If this is meant to lampoon modern parents, or their worries, it is poorly done at least in snap shot. So I’m going to give the point to @serosenpai. This joke fails on analysis on only its own merits. Maybe as part of a routine, but alone it flunks the test.
I’m echoing what others have said. While parents of today argue over which vaccines cause autism, or what types of food additives might cause what- they aren’t worrying about polio, or forced to juggle chores the “old fashioned way” with no modern tools to help. In fact- parents today have the luxury to worry so much. They can obsess because we know so much more and the average person has access to more information, because they aren’t using all their time and energy on all the little things the modern world takes care of for us. Because they live in an age where most people can conceivably afford or find a way to provide things for their children which once were only available to the wealthiest, or didn’t even exist as possibilities. Parents have always wanted the best for their kids- the best has just gotten better and more detailed. Obsession over “perfection” is an internal worry. Not a struggle of parenting in any age.
How parenting should be, always: Taking care of your kid and preparing them to take care of themself
This is silly and it’s good that there are higher standards now. Now people have to wear seatbelts, and vaccines are required. If the kid is being neglected they are helped.
Bilingual, wtf? Most American families are bilingual. There is standard English used by companies and places of higher education, and non-profanity used by American television networks
About the other generations. Imo
That's called a strawman.
