      And this is the thing, people act like the difference between withholding food as a rational, justified form of discipline and as capricious tyrannical abuse is obvious, that we all know the distinction Well, Can Opener Dad thought he knew it toohttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1345782015208075266?s=19 …

      like, I got a ton of responses like this (from Liz Bruenig for example) with people joking about how withholding food is funny and obviously can never be abusive, ha ha. then beandad shows up and suddenly everyone is like, "oh, wow, yeah, withholding food, that's not okay." https://twitter.com/kozafi/status/1340060290789089280 …

      This is the thing some people aren't getting about this story It's not just that he did a bad thing, his *value system is off* He didn't do something shameful that he tried to hide and you caught him at He was trying to *brag* about being a good dad

          In his telling of the story, he wasn't doing this out of simple selfishness (I want to eat before she does), or simple open cruelty (I want her to go hungry to punish her for pissing me off) He presented it as a willing sacrifice (Neither of us are gonna eat until you learn)

          So many of you people act like being a good parent is just a matter of not being "selfish" or "lazy" - "You know what you need to do and you just don't step up" This guy thinks he is stepping up He's working really hard at it, harder than most dads

          This is what I was trying to get at in my other thread, how a "lazy" dad who "did the bare minimum" would be so much less fucked up Just opening the goddamn beans and moving on with your life

          But this is what Noah was talking about It's not that being a bad parent means this stereotype people have of being a parent who just doesn't give a shit and gets drunk and lets the kid walk into traffic Yeah, I agree most parents do care They fuck up by caring

          Whether it's genuine altruism or compassion or love or it's mixed up with ego and more complex forms of selfishness is a whole mess I don't care to suss out The point is that yes, they do care, but what they think they have to do to be a good parent is often all fucked up

          And he's still bragging and acting shock that people disagree with him.
