I get what you mean because of a lot people were commenting the same. She said she was okay because they let her record it, and also, because of how the lady reacted, it put her at ease to know that her baby is so loved.

u/Cowabunga_Booyakasha Jan 30 '25

I'm not. Don't deflect the question now. Are you a bot?

u/mindyour Jan 30 '25

You find a way to verify that.

She wouldn’t have to be ok with it if she didn’t live in a capitalist hellscape. She’d just be there instead.

Why can't you just enjoy the moment?

Is that too hard for you?

u/MetalOcelot Jan 30 '25

You can enjoy the moment and also think there is something pretty upsetting about why this has to happen.

Doesn't HAVE to happen. They made a choice. Most families that pay for daycare could choose to have one parent stay home and not go bankrupt. They choose to pay for daycare because it works better financially for them, or they just would rather be at work with adults than alone at home with their kid.

Most "socialized" type nations choose to offer free or heavily subsidized daycare, so they would be in a similar situation of watching their child on cctv.

A new mother forced to work because living is too expensive for one income now is not enjoyable

Why can’t you get angry living in a dystopia?

u/ImmoKnight Jan 30 '25

Cause it's not.

Not yet at least.

Also, the subreddit is about smiling. I don't want to remember where I am.

That last point is totally valid.

The first one is just denial.
