Slavery is about the nature of those relationships, not the act. Just because you're raising kids it doesn't mean that it's not slavery, something that's exceedingly obvious to those who live in "chattel slavery" in which people are owned in more obvious ways, unmediated by debt relationships. Did you know that the words "cattle" and "chattel" and "capital" have the same root, that root word being head?
