Familie bleibt da zwangsläufig auf der Strecke. Ein Zurück zur
traditionellen Familie wird sehr schwierig bis unmöglich. Trotzdem es

eine

gewisse Sehnsucht auslösen mag, wird es nicht umsetzbar sein. Es bleibt
eigentlich nur, andere Wege zu finden.

REVOLUTIONS: THE KIBBUTZ

THE KIBBUTZ: AWAKENING FROM UTOPIA

Half the kibbutz members are women. And the idea was that they would be liberated. Liberated from-not child bearing, of course, that's impossible-but liberated, liberated from bringing up their children, liberated from laundry, liberated from cooking, liberated from all the cares that women normally have. So they decided very early on that it was the collective's responsibility to raise the children, the children belonged to all of us and we are all responsible for looking after them. They wouldn't be under the tyranny of a bourgeois mother and father. They would be free members of the children's society living with their own age group.

REVOLUTIONS: THE KIBBUTZ PART II

The changes extended to families as well. The kibbutz children had lived and slept in a communal Children's House. But by the early 1970s some parents were beginning to have second thoughts.

DANIEL GAVRON
AUTHOR, THE KIBBUTZ: AWAKENING FROM UTOPIA
Communal sleeping sounded very nice. But it was enormously frustrating for parents, particularly for mothers, who really felt they weren't getting enough of their children. They weren't being with them enough. They weren't seeing the enough. They weren't being able to give them enough love.

NARRATOR: The children's houses slowly began to empty. Many of the kibbutzim took out loans to pay for adding on children's rooms to their parents' homes.
