we could make parents actually parent their children
No, you couldn’t, nor could anyone else including your government. If someone had figured out a practical way to just “make” parents into better parents, we would’ve done that by now, for all sorts of reasons (education, crime, …).
We used to not expect this much of parents. Children used to be raised by the community (it takes a village to raise a child). They still are in lots of villages around the world. What’s unnatural is the nuclear family and the idea that 2 parents spend all their waking hours split between working and parenting.

Parents are the ones watching porns!
