From cradle to grave in one institution after another vs cradle to grave at home
Some folks have babies at home some would never think of it and in fact would rather have a Caesarian birth or other institutional type birth. Some babies are laid on the floor on a home made quilt to explore and wiggle about some are in confined in a walker. I see people hauling babies in a seat rather than carry them or using a carrier. When they are big enough to walk they confine them to a stroller - some until ridiculous age, too... Do they get tired too easily because they don't get enough exercise? Or are they confined because they aren't disciplined enough not to run off. Some put a baby or small child in day care some keep them home. At home do they play with toys and computers or do they manipulate real things? Are kids taught how to work? How to sew? How to cook? How about food? Are they eating nuggets or real chicken? Do they eat fast food or convenience food? Do they dig in the dirt or keep the designer clothes clean all the time? Do they run barefoot through the grass? How about education? At home? Daycare? Hybrid like home and preschool? Computers? No computers? Do they read a book or watch it as a movie? Home education or institutional education? Is a first choice for a vacation an amusement park or a state park? Even then tent or RV? Making music or listening to canned music? Is religion confined to a building or a regular part of life? What about career? Institution or self employment? Job in huge corporation or job with smaller company? Heath care from institutional doctor or alternative medicine? Old age care at home or nursing home? Death with tubes and wires or not? Comfort care or life supports?
