It’s one thing to say it’s difficult to parent. It’s very hard to be a parent. It is another entirely to say that non-parents are “privileged”. Using privileged is a total and inaccurate misappropriation of identity politics discourse to weaponize the unpaid work of parenting.

But centering the PARENTS and making this about how I personally have to support PARENTS is looking at this all the wrong ways It's a framing that directly and inevitably leads to enabling bad parents

It's like if we looked at sickness and disability and said "Non-doctors are privileged relative to doctors" like that was the important thing and not "The well and the abled are privileged relative to the disabled and sick"
