Yea Im not blaming the parents either, >40hour work week can be brutal.

What I'm saying is it's not exclusive to the U.S. but present across all capitalist countries post-2020.

Atleast in most Western countries there were stimulus cheques, in much of the global south, IMF and World Bank forced the countries to limit deficit which was devastating and of course, whatever increase in deficit went to the big business.

Or the parents aren't better off education wise, i remember doing basic algebra and my mom screaming at me and calling me stupid etc. for not being able to get it but she couldn't even do it herself lmao

i turned in a homework assignment, where i felt atleast, that she done most of the work and it was a fucking F lol

my folks were not doing well mentally or financially so the idea of getting a tutor or staying after school never crossed my mind or felt possible, also fuck school i just got an F in math

I honestly believe i had it light compared to others because i was super fortunate to have two parents albeit both were dysfunctional, not just one hyper extended parent who may or may not be dysfunctional themselves.
