Ok i get it! (Well I don't cos I don't have kids) parents are tired, they have sleepless nights and have to do all the jobs that come along with parenting but as a person who doesn't have kids am I not allowed to be tired as well?
I know there is gonna be back lash for this but honestly it's soooo annoying when I say I'm tired because I've been up half the night with phantom pains in my residual limb (amputated 5 years ago) or even if I've been out drinking the night before and I'm just generally tired. Or if i have had a busy week of walking here there and everywhere which tires me out. But people with kids are like "you don't know what tired is!" Or "how can YOU be tired? You have no kids keeping you up?" I've been told off for saying I'm tired by multiple parents as if it's a fricken competition? Surely ANYONE can be chronically tired? Everyone has their own levels of tolerance for sleep deprivation. It's especially annoying when my tiredness is dismissed at work but someone with a kid says it and they get special treatment. The other week my boss let a colleague sit and do paperwork all day(usually the managers job) because they were tired! Sigh
