With the words you’ve used, you sound threatening and extreme. What do you mean by someone trying to stop you “accumulating resources” for your child?

- Consultant32452 6y agoYou understood it correctly.
- secondcoming 6y agoThere's nothing 'extreme' about GP's sentiment. It's called being a good parent.
- not_knuth 6y agoI am in the same boat as you. While it is very normal for parents to be defensive, I found the comment a bit unnecessarily aggressive without an immenent threat (heck, we're on some comment section on the internet here, not a dome in hunger games battling for survival). But then again, I have not had children of my own, so I can't relate to the need to defend my offspring. And from friends I know that parenting is really hard with lots of sleepless nights. Perhaps the parent commenter just had a bad day.
- Consultant32452 6y agoI'm having a great day. We don't share common morals or goals. I didn't initiate the violent language, I only responded in kind.
- not_knuth 6y agoIt seems we indeed do not share morals. I thought I was merely offering a humane/plausible excuse. Perhaps it's just your laconic phrasing, but I can not stop reading your replies in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice. Maybe I would see them in a different light if I read them with Wall-E's voice. Best of luck to your child.
