Parental privilege - is it a right or an abuse of a choice you’ve made?
And today it's more from the other perspective. Does not having a child make me more of an a******? Because, listen, that's not actually the question. The question is, does having children entitle you to jump a queue, to line jump and maybe other things as well. But does having children entitle you to a privileged treatment because you have children? Something along those lines

However, I think in this particular situation, if the people around would have volunteered or let her get in, seeing her flight, perhaps it was late at night, needs to get home, maybe that would be much more appreciable than perhaps her going around and asking people to help her out. But we don't know what the situation was and what the compulsion was that she couldn't stand in a line

And yeah, I mean, the listen, I I've said what I've said to be somewhat controversial, you know, saying that it's her choice. I mean, ultimately, I suppose it is her choice in a way, but, yes, you're right, there are many cultural reasons. Reasons and pressures and norms and reasons as to why people have children, of course, and I do know and understand that. So I was just being a little bit controversial

But being a parent myself, you shouldn't get privileges if you're a parent. If your child is old enough to wait or to not have to cut in a line to get into somewhere or get onto something, then they should be able to wait. You should be able to teach them to wait. Practicing that at home, practicing that while you're at school. The teacher does that
