Poor kids are the ones who's parents grow their children to obesity, inactivity, helplessness and ridicule. Poor kids are the ones who live in filthy homes with parents who don't give a crap about them or beautiful homes with all they could want but no love or attention. Poor kids are the ones who live in crack houses, crap-holes, dangerous neighborhoods and watch people fight and die every day. Poor kids are the ones who have parents who starve them or beat the daylights out of them or worse, kill them. Poor kids are those who live with parents who can provide material things and homes but ignore them every single day or suppress who their children really are. Poor kids are the ones who's parents raise them with no encouragement for developing their own identity, beliefs, strengths and abilities. They grow up to be sociopaths, liars, drug addicts, rejects and annoying jerks who perpetrate their behaviors on others (of course, some do not). Some overcome.
My kids live a charmed life in rural suburbia and go to the best schools in their state. My kids have nearly every opportunity their little innocent hearts could ever possibly THINK of desiring. My children are read to, brought camping, brought hiking, swimming, fishing, picnicking, bikerides, and loved everyday and their negative behaviors are tended to swiftly (though sometimes they ignore their mom 🙁). They have a mother who listens to their problems and their fears and challenges them to operate outside their comfortable little suburban kid boxes and not to hide their own unique selves. My kids wonder about life and death and the mysteries of the entire universe, not just their tiny little square of grass on the planet. My kids run around tall grass in their back yard chasing butterflies, living in pure moments of child bliss. A dead coyote is simply a dead coyote but it was once a beautiful animal who roamed the nights in their neighborhood. And it's skull will have a place on their mantel. They think it's cool.
That's real, my dear.

Real is not in her vocabulary. Staring at a poor coyote roadkill for two days then going back in a psychotic "machoman" fit to chop of it's head in the name of "science" is her version of real. 😠
[edit: I bet you don't. I think your skull probably has huge heavy brow and has that sort of 'flat at the back' look. Just a guess]

not that it matters...
You don't see me having to invoke crack whores, drug addiction and cheap wine to make a nonexsistent point and compare anyones children to abused children from broken homes in order to defend some obnoxious behavior.
The point sunburnt was making was about not ignoring her kids - as so many people do.
I see a lot of parents that don't seem to realise what a responsibility parenthood is. Sunburnt is obviously engaging her kids and is not afraid of exploring things like death and decay - perfectly natural things.
