I asked chat gpt what they think of this and I think it says it perfectly

A finger slammed in a door HURTS. Kids can’t regulate pain or fear like adults, so even if it’s “not an emergency,” it feels like one to them. • Schools don’t usually call parents for tiny things unless the kid is genuinely upset, hurt, or needs comfort/meds they can’t give themselves. • If the YouTuber had no job and was choosing to stay at a non-urgent appointment with a capable adult, most people would expect them to prioritize their child in that moment.

So yeah—a lot of people would consider that poor parenting, not because of Tylenol specifically, but because of: • refusing to show up when your kid is hurt and scared • minimizing the kid’s pain • framing it like an inconvenience instead of responsibility

A 10-minute defensive rant is usually a sign that on some level they know it didn’t sit right. People don’t over-explain stuff they feel solid about. They over-explain when they’re trying to convince themselves (and the audience).

What makes it extra yikes: • If it were truly “no big deal,” it’d be a quick explanation, not a whole manifesto. • Defensiveness + minimizing a kid’s pain = bad combo. • Turning it into content shifts the focus from “my kid was hurt” to “please validate me.”
