I didn't say you're not entitled to an opinion on it. I said you're not entitled to a judgement on it - because your professional experience does not mean you have any idea about the realities of parenting, and thus, you are in no position to be telling people how they should or shouldn't be parenting, lecturing parents that "their child's safety is more important than getting to work on time", telling parents that if their situation isn't ideal they should "just change jobs" and "make it work". Preaching to parents that "having children is a privilege" - from an outside perspective - in a thinly-veiled suggestion that if they can't shift everything around to fit your idea of what they should be doing, they're... what? Getting it wrong? Are undeserving of the privilege? And if not - why patronisingly mention that "it's a privilege" whilst handing out your unrealistic judgements and expectations?
I don't know what your job is but I sincerely, sincerely hope you're not dosing up parents with this pretentious, condescending hot air in person. If you are, please stop it. If people are struggling or asking for advice, by all means offer what you have. If people are being genuinely neglectful or abusive, by all means be a part of sorting that out. But passing judgement over minor things when you have literally zero experience of the realities and nuances of raising children? Nah. I have no time for this, sorry.
