Surgeon general's warning: Parenting may be hazardous to your health (www.usatoday.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19726571

The surgeon general has a new public health warning. And this time, the hazard isn’t tobacco or alcohol: it’s parenting. 

Two-fifths of parents say that on most days, “they are so stressed they cannot function,” the Office of the Surgeon General reports in an advisory titled Parents Under Pressure. Roughly half of parents term that stress “completely overwhelming.” 

Those dire findings anchor a 35-page report, released in late August, that posits parental stress as “an urgent public health issue.” It draws on data from the American Psychological Association and other sources to build a case that parents are facing more stress than at perhaps any other time in recent history.

One-third of parents with children under 18 rate their stress level as 8 or higher on a 10-point scale, according to psychological association data. Two-fifths of parents report being “so stressed they feel numb.” Three-fifths say stress makes it hard to focus. Two-thirds are consumed by money woes.

During COVID, I had multiple people shrug off how hard everything was with kids and disregard parents struggles. That's a cultural thing which is what studies like this are addressing and trying to help build momentum to change.

It's easier to build that momentum with data instead of just vibes because even though this is self-evident to both of us, we're not the hearts and minds that require changing.

It's similar to how young and single people will be expected to work longer hours because "they don't have to go home" as if that means that they don't need time off as well.

So true. We've been on a tax-cut & deregulate spiral for 40+ years and it feels like we're left with a government that can't accomplish anything anymore.

I'm hopeful with Harris but my god do we have to hold her feet to the fire.

I misspoke. I meant this isn’t in front of the Supreme Court currently. It might be making its way up there though.

What kind of laptop should I get? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] admin@lemmy.haley.io 23 points 2 months ago

We just retired my MBP from 2014 this year. 10 years of usage for a laptop is crazy. And we could have kept it going with a battery swap but we opted to get a new Air which are super nice.

Apple is expensive but you get what you pay for.
