This person has clearly never seen a utility bill in the child's name when the child is like 6 if they don't think these relationships can't be exploitative. I have. We can have a conversation about the forces that shove people into that terrible situation but that shit happens.

Like, I've seen kids who's parents wrecked their credit scores before the kid even knew what one was.

I'll backread for some context, but I'm sort of puzzled by the jump from patriarchy to all parents. Parents can exploit their children. Parents can abuse their children. Parents can do both, but I think OP has it right & I don't see parenthood as an oppressor class?

parents have huge amounts of power and almost no accountability. the justification of disempowerment and injustice in the family is the moral justification for disempowerment and injustice elsewhere in society.

The point isn't the abuse of power and exploitation of people with less power, the point is that it shouldn't even be physically possible. Some bosses aren't jerks. That doesn't matter. There shouldn't be bosses.
