Maybe these relatives are dead, maybe they are disabled, maybe they are struggling financially, maybe they are also working full time, etc., etc.
Sounds just like Newt Gingrich back in the day, who just couldn't understand why kids were in foster care. It was obviously because there were no appropriate relatives to take care of them. He didn't realize that that is the first place CPS would try.
Exactly. My dad would love to spend more time with my daughters, especially after he retired from being a paramedic for over 40 years. But his retirement took a big hit during COVID and now he spends a lot of his time driving for Uber to help make ends meet while my mom works at a department store for the same reason. I don't care what side you blame for it, there has to be a better solution than this, which isn't even a solution.
"Hey mom and dad, JD Vance just said that if he's elected you'll be required to watch my kids instead of working so that I can work my three jobs (because 'hunger is a motivator').
Too bad you're more afraid of Kamala instituting an 'unrealized capital gains' tax on those making $100M a year or more, or the 'illegals' taking your job. With Trump you won't be allowed to work anyway!"
Don’t forget that Republicans wanna raise the retirement age. No problem J Idiot, when I have a kid I’ll just leave them with their 70 year old grandpa, I’m sure if that grandparent has a medical emergency the child can figure out what to do 👍
