    Given that many of us who are american went to the public indoctination centers… I mean schools where we were “raised” by people in our “village”, I think it would look basically the same as it like it does now.

    Unless you are talking about a world devoid of the educational industrial complex.

      Except, I don’t share the same values as my neighbors, and either I would be upsetting the neighbor by how I’m ‘parenting’ their kids, or they will be upsetting me with how they ‘parent’ mine.

        I think the point of co-operative/collaborative parenting would be for the group to agree on how to raise the children. You collectively raise the children, not each adult implementing their own rules/methods. When you have differing opinions, you would most likely compromise and come to a common ground. The whole point of working together is to operate as a group to reduce the workload and not work in isolation.

        I was thinking more along the lines of what those children would grow up with. They would end up becoming adults who understood trust and cooperation at a whole other level.

    Much more confusion but also much less child abuse considering there are more filters for abuse-causing factors to have to go through.

    I know a lot of victims of such calamity. “Oh don’t worry I’ll take care of it” says a single parent or pair of parents before going full good-for-nothing on them.

    One can say what they want about sovereignty over their kin, but people are responsible for collateral damages too. As it stands, I wouldn’t dare become a mom.

    Like most questions that devolve to, “What would the world be like if people stopped doing bad things and just <insert wish here>?” pretty great. (The wish in this case is help each other with raising children.) Now if only we could get people to stop doing bad things.
