What Happened to Child Rearing?

Some of you may remember advice from Dr Spock and traditional ideas passed down through the generations.  If you look on the internet today, you will think that child rearing is a hopeless hellhole of unsolvable problems and trauma - unless you are the perfect "mom".  What happened?  Where did all these "experts" come from?  Who the hell would trust TikToc?

What is the intersection of family, advice, and a little fun?  Check this out:

Should We Have Kids, Even Though the Internet Makes Raising Them Seem Awful? (msn.com)

For a view from a quite different perspective:

I interviewed moms with 5 or more kids − here’s what I learned about the women who are quietly going against the grain (theconversation.com)

Finally, how do we really value family over other things we can be doing?  People say family comes first, but then little of this makes any sense.  What is your experience and interactions with others on this subject?
