Hi, fellow Gen X and Millennial parents. Trying to raise a child while quietly recognizing the whole framework we inherited is broken? 

Parenting While Rome Burns is a community blog about the paradox of gentle parenting through a literal apocalypse:

Environmental collapse in our children's lifetime. Economic precarity as a permanent state. The deliberate atomization of community by design. Hyper-dependency on global infrastructures controlled by a group of Dark Triad personalities playing the world's worst game of chicken.

Meanwhile, we're here still pushing our kids to optimize their future for a world whose continuity is no longer guaranteed. Don't forget to regulate your own nervous system in case you give them lifelong attachment disorders.

It's the Paradox Party Starter Pack – a moment too complex for any useful historical reference, while simultaneously having access to more research than ever on how easy it is to permanently screw up our kids.

Worst game night ever. 

If you relate to the cognitive dissonance of worrying about your children's grades so they can get "good jobs" in industries being automated by clankers, or stress about extracurriculars while nature dispatches orcas to sink billionaire yachts, you've found your people.

Welcome.
