    Yes, the feigned self-chuckle the other person had out-loud so the entire comment section could listen, is delusional bullshit.

    MANY parents (and my sister is one) take parenting way beyond delivering the basic needs and rearing, and turn it into their entire personality. From the outside looking in, I can see a huge “mommy group” of women all in competition to assert who’s child has the most afflictions, which mom’s kid is the most autistic, which mom has the worst anxiety and needs the most free stuff and pity, who’s got the rarest condishun…

    Yeah, only a clueless dip would actually think this isn’t a real thing. There are a shitload of parents who make parenting their whole life and identity. And they form mini-cults. My sister has been harming her own child since he was born because it gets her more social points in these groups. It’s madness.
