I'll have to disagree with part of your first paragraph. Despite the technological advancement of this era it is more difficult to raise a child in this time. During the old days the cost of raising a child was lesser than today. A child might not need a formal education in those times. Most of the population grow what they eat. You don't have to pay the amount of bills we pay today. Utility bills like electricity, gas, water, streaming channels, Tv, Phone bills etc where not really there.
Lets get through your post.
So you are saying that living in 1800 without electricity, car, tap water was easier because you did not have to pay utility bills for those services? Man you can always resign from it, not use it and don't pay it.
So you are saying that living in 1800 was easier because you did not have to pay for netflix and TV?
So you are saying that its impossible to live and raise children without netflix and TV?
Strange logic that is hard to relate to without sarcasm
