You severely underestimate the mental capabilities of a nine year old. This kind of infantilization and coddling is way more damaging than anything the frontman of the long winters does to his child in this twitter thread
christ ahah i knew as soon as i sent that you were going to say "coddling." sorry, i don't think kids should be forced to open a can of beans for six hours in order to eat. guess i'm going to coddle my children and they'll all grow up to be pathetic soyboys.
Exact same energy as people who correct grammar in an argument, why bother trying to have a conversation when you're just gonna get all pissy because I used a specific word and refuse to address what I actually said.
okay, sure. in what way is saying that a nine-year-old might associate being forced to cry and destroy a can of beans for six hours while her dad ignores her plays a puzzle with not being able to eat "more damaging" than the dad doing that? what damage am i doing?
He wasn't ignoring her, you're too wrapped up in your own narrative. He was providing questions to ask to help lead his daughter to conclusion. She wasn't crying for six straight hours, she got frustrated because she's a child and wasn't given instant gratification.
this is obvious to you and i, who are adults, but not necessarily to her.
