I see where this is coming from but to expect parents will keep an even mood, every day, no matter what, is just ridiculous.

Of course it is important kids know it is not their responsibility but this meme/tweet/post makes it look like a worried parent that speaks less than usual during dinner is basically being emotionally abusive

If it just someone happens once in a while then most kids might not even notice something is up. A kid in an household where it happens often will know it. A kid in an abusive household will be terrified and will try to mitigate it.

Yup. It’s not “oh dad is passively quiet” it’s “oh he’s actively quiet and a plate might go flying if anyone sets him off”

I once again repeat, I understand what the post was going for, I am just complaining it is very poorly written and fear people would attribute abuse to family members that are not abusive in anyway
