I raised an autistic child into an autistic adult, living paycheck to paycheck, not knowing if this would be the year I'd lose him because one of us accidentally got sick and racked up some medical bills. During the 28 years we raised him we had maybe 5 vacations..none of them for more than 2 nights since that's how long it took for any of his babysitters to burn out watching him. We had no family help..had to battle for professional help. Dealing with physically aggressive behavior issues for 10 years and afraid to be in my own home for a while. Now tell me how parenting your child for 24 hours is hard Justin.....

A lot of people from all levels of incomes aren't with their kids 24 hours a day when they go to work, school, etc. Doesn't matter if they leave the kid with a nanny, daycare, school or family member. When forced to be with them non-stop for weeks on end, they figure out that (surprise!) it's really challenging. Especially if you're interested in doing it well. And for all of those who are making comments about his wealth and having no clue about us "regular" people there, there are others who think the exact same thing about you when you make jokes about your cooking fiascos at home now that you can't eat out all the time, how much gas you are saving from not driving around, having to use cloth towels instead of paper ones, and that you can't get your kids off the xbox.

If this was a random parent on Twitter or Facebook complaining about the added stress of having stir-crazy kids at home 24 hours a day, this wouldn't have blown up. Why? Because I see dozens of parents making similar comments non-stop on social media. Buncha hypocrites jumping all over JT for making the same comments other parents are making. When not in quarantine, ask yourself how long you're actively parenting. Do you work a full-time job? Because there are 8-12 hours where you're not parenting. Does your kid have a bedtime that doesn't match yours? Because there's more time where you aren't parenting. Yes, you're a parent 24 hours a day, but you're not actively parenting for a full 24 hour day. Kids and parents regularly get breaks from each other due to work, school, playdates and what have you. So what if he's got money and luxury? Kids don't care about that. They care about right now. And right now, kids are bored and want to go play with other kids.

What this shows to me is that way too many people these days love to react and not even think for a moment that Justin was just joking around as he always does.

I mean.. yeah I get that the comment rubs people the wrong way, but just because he is rich doesn't mean he isn't allowed to complain, right? Kids can be pretty rough. Also, these rich elite people are experiencing a lot of stuff for the first time. Pretty human actually to be shocked that it's hard work.

I'm no fan of JT, but people are way too sensitive about what they perceive to be his (or any other's) insensitivity. It's self-righteous indignation disguised as social awareness... motivated by a bit of political correctness and a large dose of simple jealousy. So many talk about the arrogance of celebs, but what is more arrogant than assuming that anyone outside of a circle of acquaintances ought to be aware of another's less-than-ideal life circumstances and should be sensitive to such? Too many are concerned with the opinions and lives of total strangers. JT is having a hard time with his kid? Well... so what? Boo-hoo. I don't care. I'm not wasting any of my time, let alone indignation, over that. There are too many really important things to be indignant about. Life is too short.

I think people forgot how to take a joke. Everyone is overacting to literally everything everyone says. Chill da heck out have a glass of wine or too....

OMG seriously? Almost every parent says something jokingly about their kids when talking to others. Here are a few I hear ALL THE TIME. Kids are arseholes, we don’t negotiate with terrorists when a child is having a tantrum, say you should sell your kid but you would have to pay someone to take them instead. Saying you need a holiday to get away from your kids. Yaddi yadda. It is a joke. Even I say some of that s**t. It does not mean we love our kids any less, parenting is hard bloody work. We as individuals NEED time to ourselves, it is imperative to our mental health.

I seriously don't get the outrage about what he said. Everyone with half a kid can testify that parenting is one hell of a task. Most parents breathe a sigh of relief when summer holiday ends. While I do not support celebrity worship, I also think unnecessary bashing of celebrities is unfair.

In 2021 and on... just remember the numbnuts that made all these insensitive comments when the s**t hit the fan in 2020. Stop buying their stuff.

The guys human. He's simply talking about his life. Relax you jealous paupers.

all you people on here are taking what he said out of context. he was just saying his little boy needed a timeout. yall need to scroll up and rewatch the video. He is a parent just like the rest of us and has every right to say what he did. also i want to know any one that made any comments on here that have NEVER wanted or needed a moment to themselves as a parent. tell me you have NEVER pawned your kid off to your relatives or friends house for "some me" time. I can tell you that i never have because i have trust issues, but just about everyone i know has done it.

I realize (hope) he was joking. Still, it was in VERY poor taste.

stupid article; stupid reaction to innocent thing said which was mainly true all parents are overwhelmed by the time spent w kids and taken out of context as if he's being dead serious which he isn't. you all seeking to make controversies outta nothing, taking these out of context and taking things too literally. and boredpanda at fault for writing this stupid article in the first place. everyone please simmer down and grow up

F all these rich people being all boohoo, poor me having to live a regular life since the CoVid outbreak. F outa here. Complete disconnect with reality, the lot of them. What would they do without their mansions and hired help and toys and toys and lots of fun they get to have? Whatevers.

People need to chill with all the judgement....geez.

This got blown out of proportion imho. He was just making a whinge about how this 24 hours parenting affecting him. He is extremely more well off than your average person, let alone people with more disadvantages than normal people but it doesn’t mean he can’t say anything to be sensitive to other people’s situation. If that’s the case no one should complain then because there’s always someone else worse off?

this is bigger than 9/11

I interpreted that comment to be him stating his realisation at how hard parenting is precisely because he has experienced so much privilege. Can’t we ever give someone the benefit of the doubt?

He's only bitching because he has no idea to look after his child because millionaires normally have nanny's to look after and raise there children for them. Great parenting eh.

I didn't have kids. I'd have been clueless at best at raising them. I can't judge parents in any situation. I imagine it's a tough job no matter who you are.

I think he was making a joke about the difficulties of parenting. If asked he would likely say that he has no idea how somebody with a few kids and limited resources does it. I am not close to his tax bracket and I'd be making jokes like that and spitting (figuratively) the professionally and perpetually offended! Again, joking here.

Oh my god everyone just wants to be up in arms about something all the time, but seemingly never about things that matter . He's f*cking kidding, Christ almighty

I think the tone deaf ones here are those outraged by his comment. He was joking. Admitting that it's hard work. That is all.

He was being relatable. Every parent experiences this and now there's no relief; no classes, playdates, story hour at the library. No grandparents, doting aunts and uncles. Not even a trip to the market. I get it.

Taxi_cabs, what the hell is wrong with you? You know absolutely NOTHING about what she has gone through day to day. And you’re very ignorant when it comes to autism. For you to get so “triggered” with what she said would be hilarious if it weren’t so ridiculous. Either you’re Justin himself or someone related to him. Geez

"Back in the day..." people actually raised their own kids. What a concept!

Geez, LEAVE HIM ALONE! Don't you people understand celebrities are better than us? They shouldn't have to take care of their children. They should be FIRST in line for COVID-19 testing (here's looking at you P!NK). Celebrities shouldn't have to endure the pain of being treated like one us peasants much less HAVE to do what we do hands on. Lets throw a celebrity charity FOR the celebrities! They don't deserve this.

why people take rich celebrities like god? they are lower than the common people. they can't even take care of their kids without going crazy.

Someone should airdrop him into a refugee camp in Yemen, then he can start talking about how his parenting conditions are "not human". FFS.

Most people don't parent 24/7 everyday unless they are a stay at home parent who home schools so I think anyone used to work or school giving them a break is having the stay at home mom or dad experience during summer break for the first time.

This is so sad. I feel bad for the child. He can have all the things in the world, but not know the love of a father

Honestly, I don't see a problem with what he said. He's not used to being a parent 24/7. He can hire others to do it. I don't want to hear about people hating on celebrities because they aren't used to their new way of living. sure they're rich, but it's still a change and humans have a hard time adapting to change. So do everyone a fricking favor, if a celebrity says they are having a hard time, don't hate and say that they can't complain because they have so much money and fame. Just sit for a minute and think about how they are also human, and because of their previous lifestyles, they are having a hard adjusting. I know people are struggling, and I am amazed by the amount of courage many people here have, but celebrities are adjusting to this stupid pandemic as well so stop already.

Tough life Justin, Shame, my heart bleeds custard, lumpy custard, cold lumpy custard...

How is this offensive? It's a joke. My whole Facebook feed is people saying basically the same thing. Somehow it's not funny because the person has more money than you? Nobody in my Feed is complaining about it from a financial perspective, so why does money suddenly matter now?

He has ADD. Can't judge him for what words came out of his mouth. He probably meant something else. Who knows I have adhd and things I say is actually said wrong at times
