And yet you replied directly to them. The fact that you used their comment as a platform for your rant makes it worse, not better.

Because they were a top comment talking about the difficulties of parenthood? They chose their life and I gave an alternative. Not for them, obviously.

No, I know why you did it. I saw your other comments. I'm not asking why, im explaining that your comment was dimissive, rude, and very much using a person who was venting about their stress in life.

Not for them, obviously.

You do understand that makes it worse, right?
