I feel like you and the commenter are talking about two different things.

This post isn’t even anti-child in any way. It’s about the tendency of parents to over-advocate for their children, and expect every other adult, and especially teachers, to treat their kid like their special little baby. Every child is special like every person is special, but that doesn’t mean everybody can get special treatment from everybody.

I mean from an objective standpoint the child isn’t special to the friend and that’s not an inherently bad thing. The friend shouldn’t be subjected to making sacrifices on the child’s behalf just because it’s the child of her friend.

Why wouldn’t the child/ren of your closest loved ones not be special to them… we all have to make sacrifices in the name of friendship and community

There’s like a sliding scale of specialness
