      You can love your kids and also understand that being a parent is work and a type of job. I think more people would be better at parenting if they were honest about that.

      This person is honestly doing a pretty good job of that. I’m sure they have a different tone when talking with their children directly.

          Eh it’s a different way of handling things, but if you’ve been open with your kid about the dynamic it’s fine.

          Conditioning older kids to view their parents as their only source of support is toxic. That thread is literally about parenting a kid as they realize the horrors of capitalism lol

              I’m assuming if they’re writing this publicly then they’ve already talked about it. Either way, they phrased this in a way that is obviously activating for people. I get what they’re talking about, but whatever. :shrug-outta-hecks:

              Edit: it looks like they’re a nonbinary person who is acting as a foster parent for trans kids that wouldn’t have a home otherwise.
