Surgeon General Murthy said parenting can be hazardous to your health. Mom and Dad join he long list of victims in this country. You thought you heard everything, but no, you haven’t.
An advisory issued Wednesday by Dr. Vivek Murthy, the nation’s doctor, said parents, in particular, are under dangerous levels of stress.
The report cites the American Psychological Association, saying nearly half of parents report overwhelming stress most days, compared with 26% of other adults. They’re lonelier, too, according to data cited by health insurer Cigna. In a 2021 survey, 65% of parents said they were lonely, compared with 55% of those without kids.
The article says parents are lonely, powerless, and stressed.
The wars, inflation, and open borders this administration created are okay, though.
Of course, the government is the answer to the parents’ problems.
THE GOVERNMENT IS HERE TO HELP
The Harris regime wants you to see government as the answer to everything.
Murthy is calling on anyone—especially lawmakers and bosses—with the power to lessen the load on parents to take action.
Murthy prescribes a mix of institutional actions, such as child income-tax credits and workplace management training, on the one hand, and individual actions, such as seeking more mindfulness and self-care, on the other.
Murthy lists things government agencies, employers, and healthcare professionals can do to support parents. He wants a national paid family and medical leave program. He recommends expanded programs to support parents in the workplace—such as training employers to recognize signs of stress. He wants pediatricians to provide more mental health screenings for parents when they bring in their kids.
They want eyes on you to help you, of course.

Going back to india and building that condom factory would be even better, that, and getting out of american government. You can keep the bus driver hat.
Remember those words by Ronald Reagan, “The most terrifying words in the English language: ‘I’m here from the government and I’m here to help.'”
Awwww. I’m sure the Republicucks will do much better. They will shovel a few symbolic shovels-full of dirt back into the ditch they have allowed to be dug for 80 long years since we one the “good” war, and without skipping a beat they’ll juggle getting funding to Israel and Ukraine simultaneously while trying to outlaw not dancing on the ADL’s stick.
what a total dumbass.
I found three of your comments in spam. It was a mistake. The third party plugin is far from perfect. I put your comments online.
The position of “Surgeon General” is utterly worthless, a waste of hard-working Americans tax dollars. It should be abolished.
All of your stupid tax dollars are wasted! You, Americans, are too brain damaged to do anything about it.
Oh Brother! My daughter has Seven kids and manages quite well. The two of them have a weekly “date night” to keep the relationship vibrant. A family can manage quite well if they work at it. Many of the boys go to karate classes, involved in music and the two older ones pursue stage plays. It all comes down to everyone being fully involved.
Parents don’t want to be parents today, they want to be their kids “friend”. They stick up for their kids no matter how rotten the kids are. So many kids today have no respect for their own parents. They are just waiting for them to die so they can take their things.
Do you really think any of you have things? Debt is more like it, really! Most of you are “dirt poor” and curse your children by your decay. If you had brains, mankind, you wouold not have had children knowing this reality. And, if you were worth spit as a parent you`d want your children to have far better than you had.
Parents are supposed to back their Children!
Parents Should want better for their Children. Parents should love their children enough to spare them the horror of this World. I bet GOD agrees with me, So, Harp on Christian Fools! I always win. None of you can debate me.
