If a parent will leave their kid with some person hired by the government for free just because they want a 'night out', they need some serious me time.

These same people who won't let grandparents babysit because they haven't had seventeen vaccinations are fine leaving their kid with someone Mamdani hired. Make it make sense.

So NYC is legit just puppies and rainbows now? https://t.co/oqsjq3rcIj

If the state having access to your kid at all times is your jam, probably.

It really is the “free candy bars from the vending machine” high school class president stuff https://t.co/v8MvU25QK6

Can you imagine leaving your kid with a rando that works for the government? What? https://t.co/uaTQNlOqAQ

— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) July 16, 2026

That sounds like a nightmare.

“Free” is code for taxpayer funded

So now NYC taxpayers have to pay for parents to leave their kids in the care of random government employees so they can go get drunk at a bar

Yeah give your kids over to a commie run state agency… what could possibly go wrong https://t.co/oRj0eYrYg3

Nothing is free.

I would trust a bag of lettuce I bought today more than this. https://t.co/QNYepX5tFX

Literally, a bag of lettuce at Taco Bell is more trustworthy than the state.

Free. The babysitters aren't getting paid? https://t.co/P4ytwuGKjG

Of course, they are. The taxpayers are paying for this service. So, parents who would never leave their kids with strangers are paying for other parents to have a night out.

Imagine dropping your kids off at commie kindergarten https://t.co/pgziqCsPTf

Imagine sending your kids to government school all day and then picking them up only to drop them off at Commie Care for the evening. Might as well just turn them over to the state.

This is pro-natalist policy.

If you are against this, then you are not pro-natalism. https://t.co/8Po7Yjdfyt

Being 'pro-natalist' is absolutely the opposite of having kids and then turning them over to the state to care for, actually.

State sanctioned babysitters is the most dystopian sounding thing I’ve ever heard. A free communist wet nurse to watch every child. What could possibly go wrong. https://t.co/2RfGc8VsM1

Don't give Mamdani any ideas.

Why on earth is babysitting FOR A NIGHT OUT anything that would involve taxpayer money? https://t.co/TgHyxvcqTr

That's a great question.

This is pro-family. Conservatives who worry about declining fertility shouldn’t sneer.

(Obviously, there are questions about execution and scale. But the reflexive sneering bothers me.) https://t.co/tT6g8PRyIh

Pro-family means policies that make it easier for parents to rear their children THEMSELVES. It may include programs to encourage multi-generational living so grandparents and extended family participate in a child's life, but it's not more governmental involvement in children's daily experience.
