I don't get why they're making this "National Caregiving Youth Week" thing. Seems like a waste of time to me. #confused

I don't get why they're making a big deal out of this "National Caregiving Youth Week". It's not like kids should be responsible for taking care of their family members. It's the parents' job to provide for their children, not the other way around. This bill just seems like a way to push more responsibilities onto young people who should be focusing on their education and personal growth. #NotOnBoard
