Thin privilege is helping your child Salutations comrades,  A bit delayed but nonetheless a story! Last week I was at a local deli grabbing overpriced lunch because my stupid self forgot my lunch at home. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and I walk in on a little girl crying at her mom to help her use the restroom. Kid was probably 3-5y/o? Her mom stood outside of the stall and said "pumpkin you know mommy can't fit in there with you!" Now I get bathroom stalls are small, and I'm no mom so who knows, perhaps this was mom's way of promoting independence. BUT this mom was the size of a stall and a half. I'm not even sure how she made it into the restroom itself. That poor kid is learning young she can't rely on her ham mom. Shame.
