Why parunt when AI can....

There are lots of off-topic posts on LinkedIn, many are about parunting.

Here's one where a career-minded moo wants to use AI to remove the repetitive aspects of mooing.

How many CF peeps consciously avoid parunting because they don't want to spend 98% of their time repeating themselves or playing the good behavior reinforcement game? How many of us have witnessed that a parunt can't spend even five minutes of their time around their brat without having to correct, intervene, hear "mommy! mommy!", set boundaries or say "no".

And if all the repetitive aspects are removed, doesn't that essentially make AI the parunt to the brat?

I guess a moo who still feels the need to remind the entirety of LinkedIn that parunting is 24x7 might be considered a bit on the slow side.

Yup, but you can bet your bottom dollar any breeder who uses AI to do their job for them will still take all the credit for "parenting."

I wonder how a kid would feel when they ask their parent for a story and they just get told to talk to a computer instead. Why bother having kids if you're going to outsource the job as much as possible to other people, and in this case, machines? Isn't it bad enough kids are babysat by tablets now? And if Moo is so bothered by having to re-re-re-re-read the same damn stories to her brat, can't she just, you know, enforce boundaries? Say "no" or "not right now" or "later?"

Plus, notice this Moo says she spends every weekend with her brat, so I assume she is the non-custodial parent. So she doesn't even see the fucker every day! She only has to parent two days out of the week and she's still trying to find ways to fucking automate it!

Also, AI has a mind of its own. What happens when it starts saying weird shit to a kid in Mommy's voice?

I'm guessing they outsource for the social clout and/or because so many of them didn't think they had another option until they brat(s) had already arrived. Cue the almost universal shock when they finally figure out that parunting is hard, repetitive and almost exclusively grunt work.

And this moo can't handle weekends only as a parunt. The poor kid is going to grow up feeling unwanted by his mahm.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could fall for the "unconditional love" BS in the first place.

Parunts always take the credit for any parunting regardless of the amount of nannying/device bratsitting. I've no doubt that shrinks will have a perfect therapy for adults that were raised by devices. It'll require years of therapy to start with. Lots of mullah.

I've never once wanted to outsource an activity or experience I find joyful and fun. I save that for the repetitive and low value activities. Seems to me that parunting has lots of repetition and low value else there wouldn't be so much whining for reprieve and to outsource pretty much all aspects of it.

I've no desire to outsource an amazing meal at a restaurant, spending time with my significant other, enjoying nature walks, spa days, going on day trips or vacations, etc. Of course, I'm not claiming any of these activities provide unconditional love or anything else so ridiculous either.

And I've heard lots of parunts complain about how vacations with their brats aren't really vacations at all or relaxing. I believe it to be 100% true. But I have to ask why any parunt (except one with substantial resources) thought they'd have a great vacation with brats. They'd have to outsource help to bratsit to have any hope for a relaxing vacation.

When people acquire money/resources one of their first priorities is to outsource anything to do with their brats. This is why so many rich brats grow up and are massively messed up.
