Wow, this was superbly articulated. You are so right, COVID times focused on all the "hard working families" it was rather grotesque.

A now ex friend said to me during those times "I don't care what anyone says lockdown is much harder when you have kids."

WOW! What a way to ignore and dismiss all the ways people suffer outside of having children. Not being able to receive treatment for diseases, get IVF, be beside loved ones as they past...

Why there needs to be this engagement in the suffering olympics infuriates me!
