    Radical thought: everyone has been a child, not everyone has been a parent. (Some don’t want to be, others sadly lack the choice.) But until I was a parent my views on parenting, the demands & joys, were theoretical. Your childhood memories are just that: the views of a child.

        In lockdown parents with small kids, school age or worried teenagers are under pressures no parenting manual prepared them for. Pressures the “childfree” - and I count myself here since mine are grown - are not enduring. For people who are not walking in their shoes to judge them

        or think they know best, based upon their childhood memories or plain ignorant musings, is upsetting and inflaming. Yes, they love their kids, yes they are glad they gave birth, yes they know parenting is a privilege. But sometimes it’s fucking hard. So cut them a goddamn break.

        Moreover some of these non-parents with their AMAZING insights, should read some feminism. Maybe @helenlewis’s Difficult Women about how women had to shake off eternal pregnancy & domestic drudgery to have economic independence or ANY role in the world.

        I don’t have children and I’m really glad about that, especially now. My friends with children are going through very tough times. Lockdown’s been a doddle for me by comparison.
