[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom of older kids, I'm confused why everyone things the pandemic told them something new. Yes the pandemic sucked but we weren't supported before the pandemic either. [/quote]

Mmm, pretty sure my young school-aged kids could attend school before the pandemic.  Suddenly, school became not only optional, but something no decent parent had a right to expect.  As PPs have said, you weren't dealing with young kids during the pandemic - just as I don't know what it was like to parent teens during that time period, you don't know what it was like to parent toddlers or preschoolers or kindergartners.

They were in elementary. But I just find this whole younger generation of parents SO effing whiny. Everything is unfair and harder for them than everyone else. Blah blah blah. Deal with it.[/quote]

And how old are you?  Either you're in your 50s/60s with much older kids, in which case you have no idea at all what it was like to parent young kids through the pandemic, or you're in your late 40s and just a few years older but complaining about this "younger generation" of parents which is ridiculous.[/quote]

I’m 43. And y’all are really whiny. [/quote]

Well I'm 43 so we're peers. No one here is whining. We're talking about challenges. If you have no challenges, why are you here? To complain about those of us who are struggling? Does that sound like a mentally sound and healthy choice?[/quote]

There isn't really any correlation between people who complain a lot, and people who actually have harder lives. If anything, those I know with real difficulties actually complain less. We all do what we have to, no point dwelling on the past.[/quote]

You're just a miserable person who came here to yell at people who are talking about struggling because then they'll be miserable like you and that perversely makes you feel better. You need therapy but will never get it because it because that would involve admitting that you have issues, and you can't do that. Your entire identity is wrapped around feeling superior to others, so actually accepting you don't know everything and that it's okay to just let other people live or figure stuff out on their own is a threat. So you come on DCUM and put on this show of rolling your eyes at people and criticizing them for ANYTHING they say, putting people down and making fun of them.

You're broken. But it has nothing at all to do with me. I hope you figure this stuff out and get better because you probably make your kids and everyone else you interact with miserable too.[/quote]
