Since I’ve become a father myself in October, this is the one topic I felt I couldn’t share much about on other communities. Mainly because most leftists I meet there don’t have children (yet).

So I’m looking forward to hearing from other (new) parents and how you all try to be a leftist parent in a rotten capitalist world.

    Same here. We adopted our son last October, but he turned 6 last week. We just had his birthday. My wife and I are really trying to reduce all the plastic toys he gets. Try to get family on our side. Not give him too much tv with Disney TM shit on, that kind of thing. Buy second hand as much as we can. But it’s like sailing in a storm. Everywhere you turn, there’s a new challenge to my ideal non-capitalist parenting.
