They are talking about issues they are having in raising two kids, I'm pretty sure those are real, non-invented problems.

Yes but one of their complaints is that their 18-year old is talking to them instead of a therapist. A lot of parents would kill for their kids to open up to them! Saying “my kid opening up to me is reinforcing bad gender practices” is kind of hosed!

Agreed, but only if they ask who someone is or what is going on. Otherwise they should just be sent to the emotional labor camps.

I'm just going to say that actually, redirecting your 18yro to dedicated psychiatric help for certain things is a positive step towards them standing on their own. It doesn't mean you should stop giving advice, but if huge chunks of your time is spent doing therapy for someone, anyone, that indicates that they probably need help from an actual professional

Like strictly speaking humans were polyamorous and used to have a large number of adults on which they could draw from for emotional support, guidance, knowledge, etc. Obviously that changed as STD protection became the salient driving factor in relationship style selection, but that doesn't mean that our need for "literally more than one supportive adult in our life we can use as a crisis councillor or for guidance or support at any given time" has waned one bit

Also I'd like to note as well that, maybe judging the entirety of someones parenting on a vent thread they made is a bad idea. According to some folks who know them their day job is investigating far right militant groups and having to dig through thousands of pedo comments and death threats / rape threats. If their twitter was intended for people who know that context, there's likely a fuckload of information that we are perhaps missing?

Its worth the consideration, at least.

Venting like that in public about an 18 year old feels like a bad idea. It'd be different if they were 8 (or 8 months) but there's a decent chance they'll find the posts.

Your kid being deadset on doing something you think is bad is a stressful situation though.

She didn't say that the kid's problems were more than she could handle, she said she was tired of him talking to her about them and it was unfeminist to let the teen she was fostering think it was OK to bring his problems to his foster mom.

Sorry but being worn out from work is just more reason she should explain that to the 18 year old and assist them in finding proper mental health care. Instead her response is to post about someone's private life online. Pretty gross.
