Wedding industrial complex. You want a venue? Sure. Oh with tables? Upcharge. Tablecloths? Upcharge. Serve alcohol? Upcharge. DJ? Seperate but also upcharge. Photographer? Flowers? Cake? Gifts? Makeup? Hair? Outfits? Also, we accept tips.
75% of weddings I’ve been to in the last 10 years were just over the top expressions of vanity and couples/their families living out some big shot fantasy. They’ve only authentic feeling weddings were smaller more intimate weddings without all the circus nonsense

25% of weddings I've attended in the past decade are primarily about:
1. the bride/groom status flexing on the attendees
2. the bide/groom's families passive aggressively litigating some decades-long family conflict
to the point that the event is anti-hospitable to the guests

A lot of married couples with kids just don't want to admit that they don't want to put in effort with their other relationships anymore so they justify it by villainizing childfree, single people. I know married couples who have a strong village bc they still put effort!
I definitely agree with that, but there also is another element where many millennials can’t seem to balance family life and individual interests for stuff that’s maybe 1-2 a week. For example, a few guys I play hockey with feel guilty not being home for 3hr 1 night a week.
When I was growing up there were girls in my school who were friends because their moms were friends who has grown up together. There was one foursome whose moms were also a foursome. As a weird little shy immigrant, I found this almost awe inspiring.
What happened is that people no longer have kids at a sustainable rate and the population is replaced by immigrants at a much faster rate, so society no longer has the cohesion and harmony to sustain the normal friendship lifecycle where you go through the stages of life and raise families together.
It doesn’t even have to be based on vacations. The reason it comes across like a modern prison is because people deprive themselves of the smaller scale social. Yes, a weekend trip with a toddler at home is not logistically easy, but doing something social for a few hr isn’t.

This is why modern parenting is like prison. This mindset just straight up didn’t exist 30 years ago.
My parents left the COUNTRY for multiple weeks and left me and my brother with my grandma and we did not die or even care lmaoo
Or maybe people are willing to shell out money for what they think could be a once in a lifetime experience
Whenever this topic comes up there’s always the same robotic….and dare I say….NPC responses from right leaning accounts.

One of the reasons millennials are lonely is because they think they need to go on expensive and weekend long instagrammable planned excursions to be social.
You can just hang out, in a million different ways, and it turns out those ways are very compatible with having kids around.

i said like last week i know a grown man that does birthday dinners and trips and like 80% of it is about posting it on facebook. the birthday dinners are restaurant reviews and the trips are photo dumps.

Ethan dropping his Mizrahi wife for an Ashkenazi mistress is perhaps the most Israeli thing he could have done.
Remember, Israel established a hierarchy of supreme and lesser types of Jews- settling the white Europeans in the developed center and brown Jews in camps at the edge.
