mogulChildren are a burden.
I think burden is the wrong word. It implies an overall negative effect on life, like saying that playing a sport is a burden because you have to dedicate time and energy to it. Yes, my daughter does take up a huge part of my life and I’ve had to give up hobbies in order to make time for her.
Responsibility and commitment, yes.
Burden, no.
Webster has “duty, responsibility” listed as one of the definitions of burden. In that sense I think they are spot on. However, other people’s interpretation of the word can obviously vary
I don’t think the OP would’ve been using that definition otherwise it would hardly be an unpopular opinion.
If they’d only said that being a parent was a duty then it wouldn’t’ve been an unpopular opinion.
