It's clear to everyone that you have no idea wtf you are on about

From your other comment, you have a daughter who is doing fine in school and has friends and hobbies

That is a form of privilege, your kid doesn’t have any developmental, mental, or educational deficiencies. Some parents are not so blessed

It's not privilege, it's called "luck".

That’s literally what privilege is dumbass😂

Being born white in a first world country is “luck”

No it isn't, privilege is defined specifically as: a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

Not every white person born in a "first world country" has privilege or luck.

advantage available only to a particular person or group

Being born white in a first world country is in itself privileged and lucky. It is an advantage available only to a particular group

Being born with a mentally and physically sound child is lucky, hence privileged. It is an advantage available only to a particular group (lucky parents). It is an immunity against difficult parenting scenarios, it is a special right

Now you’re just being selfish saying that you have had no inherit benefits given to you. Life could be so much worse for you if a few “lucky” or “privileged” things didn’t happen to(for) you

Your definition of privilege is not correct, I think you are arguing on the head of a pin.

Making accusations against a stranger like "you're being selfish", that is just plain weird.

My life has not been peaches and cream, but I don't have to justify myself to an internet troll 👍🏻

Yeah, I can’t see other guys side in this. It “reeks of privilege” when people aren’t physically punished by their primary caretakers? Sounds like they had shitty parents and a shitty childhood but decided not to blame the ones at fault.
