some well-off professionals in nyc, have basically started 'plantonic co-parenting' arrangements.

as in, two well-off couples produce a child, but are not romantically involved, the child is basically a small business they co-own and invest in... and the child is not a product of love, but a product of financial investment of each partner...

basically child production without dating, marriage, or any personal relationship between the parents.

that's where we are today. the concept of a loving family is now being replaced by purely transactional relationships that are treated as business arrangements.
