In many European countries, parents have already handed the majority of their child raising duties to the state.

If your kid is in state-subsidized daycare from 8am-5pm every day and bedtime is at 730pm, your child is effectively interfacing with and being entirely raised by a life setup by the state for bulk processing far more than any bespoke one setup by you as a parent.

When you've already distanced your involvement so much, it's only natural these same people would want to remove additional parenting duties off their plate so they can further lead a fully automated life devoid of responsibility or anything uncomfortable like setting limits for your child. Because who wants to take care of their children or their parents? Yuck. Let the immigrant brown people do it while we simultaneously scapegoat them for our own economic failings.
