I"m not sure why this thread is so polarized. I am 30 and I don't have kids - I am burnt out from the pandemic and can assume that those trapped inside with their kids are orders of magnitude more burnt out than me. I feel bad for them. I am also very burnt out, which shows itself in an array of different symptoms (more irritable, more prone to being frustrated/resentful for those that have different situations than me, etc). It's fine to acknowledge that some have it harder than you, but to also wish that you had it easier. I wish we all had it easier. Sometimes, when I'm feeling most frustrated with everything, I wish I also had an excuse to work part time but keep my entire pay (which is, ignoring all else, what a lot of peers with children get). Humans are complicated and can have lots of feelings, some of which are irrational and some of which are unempathetic. We're all getting squeezed right now.
