    But I'm conscious of the femme labor paradigm it's reinforcing that I'm the "parent" confidant.

    YOU'RE LITERALLY HIS FUCKING PARENT, IT'S NOT SOME ANALOGOUS BULLSHIT, YOU FUCKING ADOPTED HIM

        Can confirm. Am a foster parent and I'm continuously baffled when the 3-year-old I'm taking care of doesn't genuflect and worship me as a benevolent god-king. These damned kids are so caught up in their own "I was ripped away from tormented poverty-stricken parents at a formative age!" drama that they forget about my own emotional needs.
