Parents are the worst about the one-upping. If I never hear "you don't know what tired is, you don't have kids!" from a healthy energetic person sometimes many years younger than I am again it'll be too soon.

Has anyone else noticed that as a society, we’re shamed for wanting to sleep? Sleeping in is bad, naps are only okay if they’re 20 minutes, you cant be tired unless you’re a <insert career/lifestyle choice here>, so on and so forth.

I mean, I think we all need to spread our blankets out, cuddle a pillow, and go to sleep. Everyone needs more of it, fuck this “it’s not productive” nonsense. It’s okay to sleep, it’s okay to want to sleep. You’re not lazy because of it.

#not to derail op's post but parents are the worst about one upping generally not just about sleep #no one is as tired stressed overworked undersupported poor lonely disrespected and oppressed as a parent says local parent #but respond with 'that sounds miserable I'm glad I never wanted kids' and they think that's the most awful thing a human has ever said #'children are parasites that suck all joy money and life out of their parents leaving them drained husks'#'what do you mean you don't want children they're the best you're so lazy selfish and immature not to want to be a drained husk like me'#ok I'll shut up now #no one more thing fuck puritan work ethics obligatory parenthood and suffering as virtue mindset #ok now I'm done for real
