Nah I think you've gone too far off the wrong end. People talking about 'adulting' is a joke, it just references being uncomfortable with not having someone with more 'authority' to fall back on, and it's something that is cited in various ways over the millenia in various media.
I don't think what you're proposing is wrong in terms of 'would it be beneficial' but I don't think it wholly misses the idea of 'is it feasible' and not just in monetary terms. As it stands, today, if I had to raise my kids in a 'village' in this state, I'd sooner enroll them in Scientilogy For Kids in hopes the joint brainwashing cancels itself out.
Oh what I’m proposing has no foreseeable path to fruition. I’m talking about what we’ve lost on the road to industrialization. We’ve gained a lot as well but endless words have been written about that! Far less has been said about the downsides of industrialization and the movement towards car dependent suburbs.
It also needs to be said that all of what we’ve lost may not be equally irretrievable. Some things could potentially be brought back, especially as our culture continues to evolve. For example, I see the current crises with social media and the loneliness epidemic to be temporary issues (but also symptomatic of our loss of village life and in-person social connection).
