MODERATORS
There are two types of respect - respect of a human, and respect of an authority/superior. Parents demand the second, but that kind of respect is earned. You don't owe it to anyone.
"I carried you for nine months! I raised you! I poured love, time, and effort into, and this is how you repay me?" - they think they have earned it,and some of them do.
“That’s the bare minimum expected of a decent parent. If you think that even minimums should be treated as something exceptional, let’s talk about minimum wage.”
The response to that type of that phrasing needs to be "so what?" Or "yeah and?"
They've done legitimately the lowest amount of effort needed, carry a child to term.
I disagree that carrying a child to term is low effort. It absolutely wrecks a woman's body. Really what you should respond with is, "I didn't ask to be here. I didn't consent to being born."
