You obviously feel to the need to tell people they’re overreacting anytime you feel attacked, but please try to step back and realize I never said you should call them a mom. Weird how often this happens on my account with a female name.
I simply pointed out that being a pet owner alone shouldn’t preclude one from the same kind of appreciation, provided that they put in just as, if not more, effort than some mothers do. Fostering kittens is intense work, and being an animal fostering parent isn’t something to be scoffed at as a ‘silly’ title.
No, I tell people they are overreacting when they attempt to push me into a position I never started at for some personal reason I cannot fathom. And that’s me being polite.
I brought the topic back to my stance on not calling pet owners (the primary demographic I’ve encountered who call themselves “furbaby parents”) “mother” on Mother’s Day because that was what my first comment said and was always about. Not anything about denigrating people that take care of animals. And certainly not because you have a female username. Once again, you’re trying to push my words into a weird position for your personal reasons. First trying to claim I think less of people that take care of animals and now apparently trying to tar me as some sort of sexist?
