They seem to be of the opinion that since I don’t have little clones of myself running around that my free time is inherently less valuable.

No Sam, I’m not working two doubles so you can make it to little Timmys fucking music recitals. Bringing that little shit into the world was your fucking choice you dumbass!

Sorry, needed to vent.

    Alright look, this was a vent post so yeah, I'll cop to taking an excessively hostile tone. But do take not several other people were posting in this thread about experiencing similar treatment to me, so it would seem this isn't just some isolated thing I've been through but an actual trend. It's a two way street, if we can call out working people without kids for being unwilling to help lessen the load on working people with kids, then we can also recognize sometimes working people with kids are perhaps sometimes more than a bit dismissive of the hardships of those without and should be more respectful when asking them for help.
