My condolences to their son. Full thread if you want to feel bad for their children: https://twitter.com/herong/status/1515846706394501123?s=21
I would also like to point out this person is posting this to their 10k followers on their twitter account that is in no way anonymous.
One way or another this person will get what they want because if I saw my parent do some shit like that I'd never speak to them again.
It’s hard to express how much uncensored venting about your kids should be a private phone call, not a public Twitter thread
When you have zero idea of what emotional labor is
She's right. Parenting, especially work women are expected to put in, is uncompensated social labor. Having to manage yours and other people's emotions during said labor is emotional labor.
Extending the definition to parenting is an internet phenomenon, the academic discourse around the concept is largely centered around Workplace relationships, Customers, co-workers, bosses etc
In what world does “compensation” even make sense in a parent-child relationship, aside from the obvious dark implications?
