    But what these parents receive is humanity, not privelage

    You’ve just made it worse. You’ve gone from “Parents receive privileges that non-parents don’t” to “Parents deserve more humanity than non-parents,” then you compare non-parents to the mentally ill:

    This is like a rich person complaining about poor people receiving economic support

    I am in favour of Universal Basic Income, the first word of that being universal. Let the rich person have a drop in their bucket while providing the basic needs of living to everybody.

    You say “it takes a village”

    When did I say that?

    but how are you, as a childfree person which is complaining about others receiving aid that you yourself do not need

    What makes you think I don’t need a flexible schedule or the ability to turn down traveling for work?

    being part of said village? What is your contribution?

    As established earlier: Taxes that fund schools and safety nets.

      Why would anyone assume that a child free person would automatically need anywhere near as flexible schedules? To do what? Tend to your horses? You seriously underestimate how much extra time raising kids take, whether due to unforseen circumstances or not. I guarantee you, even with all the supposed privileges these parents receive they are drowning by the added workload and they are more stressed at work than they were before having kids.

        And once again being dismissive towards people for the sin of “not having children.” That’s not going to convince anyone who disagrees with you to listen to you.
