    What do you think parenting classes is? It’s a community to learn as a group with other parents the hardships of parenting in TODAYS age? A doula provides support, and a midwife provides medical assistance.

    You can also go on Facebook and join a mom or parental group, options exist, always have, always will. They’ve modernized in a sense. Go out in your community and find your community center, see what programs they have.

      If you think online groups are the same, I don’t have anything to say to you. Also, you’re blissfully ignoring that not everyone can do that. You mentioned that you have access to free midwives. I hope you realize that it’s a privilege that most don’t have.

        Online groups, in person at your local hall, sometimes things require a little effort on your own and isn’t just handed to you.

        Having a parent there for them is also a privilege that most don’t have. If you look, you can always find the negative in everything. There’s options, I’m sorry that you feel the need to gatekeep them.
